The Most Dangerous Man in America - Part 2

In 2008 I started a thread here under the above entitled heading. At that time and since, I have always felt fairly treated on these boards. I've found many good-natured critical thinkers.



I come and go, because I prefer not to be argumentative on a daily basis. I would rather relax and publish, always in duplicate or triplicate, and then have it reviewed here on occasion by the skeptics; although I'm not sure how many, I feel I could call peers.



By "peer," I simply mean someone who cared enough to analyze and reflect on the odds, of say, dealing two straight flushes in a row to the same player in a game of poker. Perhaps you never cared how many players might make a difference in those odds, or that there may be other factors determining them, such as the frequency of the dealer playing the game. Would it matter if the flushes were both royal? These are the questions I would expect contemplated by my peers.



Regardless, I welcome your skepticism, but make no mistake; I feel stronger and more accurate making my forecasts of natural disasters, with each passing year. This arguably makes me the most dangerous man in America, since Ben Franklin, who believed that he could harness the power of lightning in his hand.
