People are funny rarely do people think things though, and their even more likely to convince themselves that despite history it will not happen to them. Why are people so bad at risk management? Why do people think that a 1 200 year flood means that if it happened 2 years ago they are going to be safe for the next 198 years? I think it's a symptom of the anti-science, anti-academic we seem to be becoming as a result of the Amerifcation of Oz. the Fox news pundit and instant expert effect.
