insurance? Why don't you just wait until you see flames, then buy a

Dummer 'n dirt.

what he says is true
but he uses it to imply a fallacy

an -individual- has very little power over the climate
even a rich individual

individually you cannot build a pyramid
but get together maybe 50 000 working together during fallow with copper tools
and you can move mountains

from the collective unconscience of odd bodkins
nobody could do that much decoupage
