Nah, just burn it all to the ground and cut yer losses, then try and
remember that some places just aren't real good for buildin shit on.
"Oh ho, there's a volcano over there, oh I know, let's build a house
next to it...dur-ur..." or "Well lookie there, it's a giant fucking
tornado ripping straight through the field, oh I know, let's build our
town here!"

Stupid people get what they deserve...always.
