Dunno, when I was there, I would be taken to all the best spots for hippie watching.

It's about time people stopped calling them "faults." It's denigrating breaks in the continuity of bodies of rock. To call them "faults" is to imply some defect and even personal responsibility on the part of the rocks themselves. A fault is when a tennis player serves the ball wrong. Someone is at fault when something bad happens because of their bad action. Rocks aren't doing anything wrong by rubbing together.

This kind of rhetoric needs. To. Stop. Right. Now. Here. And. Now. Stop. Immediately. Now.

I grew up right on (or next to) the fault. We had lots of small earthquakes growing up, and there was always talk of the big one. Could happen anytime, could also not happen...
