‘Why on earth would people live in Oklahoma?’ is a good question, actually

May 21, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

What’s the big problem?

I asked the same thing during Katrina:

Why do you people live below sea level?

Some people will compare this reporter’s question to the chick at the Daily Show joking that God sent the tornado to kill conservatives.

Two very different things.

(Also, who cares? SDA makes California-liberal-earthquake jokes all the time — and I’ll bet the folks at Breitbart do too, albeit using their “inside voices.”)

You’re 21st century Americans, not African or Haitians.

Surely you don’t have to keep living in a flood or earthquake zone or in “hurricane alley.”
