     Settling Western North America in any significant numbers seems like it was kind of a bad idea. The area is ridiculously drought-prone.

At the time, we had no idea of the climatic history of the area, and for decades the mega-farms in California and the Midwest have done a magnificent job of feeding the nation and keeping us self-sufficient.  Now we need to begin to look elsewhere for our food supply.
