Just to finish what Gibcarver started, since he didn't explode your last fallacy as he did the others...

Face it, your view looks good on a handmade sign at a campaign rally, but it would cause untold problems if actually implemented. Look at the difference between the damage caused by the earthquakes that hit Haiti and Chili last year. Chili's earthquake was stronger but due to strict building codes and a well-prepared government response the damage was not even comparable to the destruction that Haiti endured.

Do you really think building codes are the only difference between these two countries which may have led towards better constructed housing in Chile? Here's a hint.

GDP per capita
Chile - $9,644
Haiti - $646

When you have more money, you tend to want better housing. Building standards tend to be implemented when people can afford them. If you took Chile's building standards and forced them upon Haiti, you'd force 95% of the population out of their homes and onto the streets. They simply could not afford to follow the building standards. For some people, all they can afford is a hut built out of sticks and corrugated tin.

And btw, it's Chile, with an e. It's not a country that you can eat.
