I'm just more than a tad annoyed at environmentally unfriendly corporations trying to use Native American practices as justification for their own.

We've actually had people around here trying to claim that clear-cuttings necessary, because the Native Americans used to be "stewards of the forest" or some-such, and without them, something needs to be done to prevent forest fires, and the best way to save a forest from fire is to cut it down.

Because, you know, the few tens of thousands of Indians living in California before the arrival of Europeans went around preventing forest fires - there's no natural cycle of fuels buildups and burnings involved or anything ...

Assuming, arguendo, the heroes of your story own some, why, when it starts as an earthquake, should they grab one?

Because when social order breaks down, it's better to be armed than not. Especially if that breakdown leads to a scarcity of transportation/food/medical supplies/shelter. I'm not above seizing any or all of those things by threat of force, if the situation's dire enough.

Friggin’ bar in the friggin’ lobby is called “The Martini Bar.†And you know what? No onions.

Why would a place called "The Martini Bar" have onions? If all they serve are actual martinis ... then they wouldn't need onions.

Looks like the MySpace page is down as well - I'm guessing he deleted his profile to avoid the embarrassing messages that were no doubt on the way.

(Unless I just had a bad URL, in which case I still have a chance to mock him myself).
