Idaho scientists find huge fault in the Rocky Mountains

A new forty mile fracture in the earths crust which has the potentially to unleash a 7.5 magnitude earthquake.  A small mountain town, Stanley Colorado,  is considering evacuation.  About 100 year round resident do not wish to evacuate. 
Do you think that they should be forcibly moved if needed or should they decide for themselves?

  1. I believe they should decide for themselves. Its their lives. I dont think they should be forced.

  2. Like brad said, I believe it should be their own decision. It would go up against our constitutional rights to force someone to evacuate from their own home.

  3. I also believe its their own decision. You can't force people to leave their town but u can make the option known to them. If they wanna risk their lives and stick around they should be able to do so.
