Give me a good argument and I'll change mine :) Actually not 'a' good argument, but good arguments to refute all my doubts at fears. A problem with the 'geological stable' idea is the same as with stocks: results from the past are no guarantee for the future. When you see a coin turn heads up four times in a row I guess you will bet your life that it will be heads the fifth time, no? And another problem is that it geological stability is not enough. How about political/sociological stability? I am not sure the USA will be a peace-loving country (or even *one * country at all) in a few hundered years.
