My Grandfather and Great Grandfather along with their Indian friends would actually start fires in the spring to keep the dangerous kindling out of the forests. I can remember them saying there would be Hell to pay if the Forest Service continued its no burn policy. Well there is now Hell to pay along with urban environmentalists who have envaded the rural areas with their detrimental views. Now the Forest Service has seen the error of their ways, but we now have a political juggernaught known as the Greens. On top of that our population has exploded here in the Golden state with more and more people deciding to build homes within the now fire prone areas. First we have got to put a stop to psuedo green science and then we can begin to look at ways for people to safely populate the fire prone areas. - Yaeger Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:28:11 +0100
