What’s needed here is balance: Michelle’s report had someone saying the breaks AROUND the area where people lived–clearly THAT is where the clearing needs to be more vigorous.

I’m an environmental scientist.

None…

None…

there is never any connection

Except for the Halliburton/Blackwater connection to every event on earth…

Since I left California over a year ago, my life has been much calmer.

L.A. Times of Mexico printed that? WOW, the smoke in the air must be messing with them.

It’s a different kind of smoke than normal.

A little good news regarding the California wildfires that are finally starting to wane: by standing up to the envirokooks who forbid forest clearing and prevent it with lawsuits, people were able to save lives and property in Lake Arrowhead:……

they should bill the Sierra club and all the other tree-huggers for all the costs of fighting the fires … they are the ones that have kept challenging just about every single attempt at clearing the underbrush and dead trees throughout the country … by keeping the programs tied up in the courts they not only cost taxpayers time and money they contribute to the loss of property and in some cases lives when these fires hit every year because the clearing operations weren’t done …

Yesterday I suggested suing them, tort suit, Joint and Several Liability. Not for the cost of fighting the fires, but for the property damage.

Alan Colmes just equated those on the right who are calling anti-clearing enviro-whackos “anti-clearing enviro-whackos,” with those on the left who are blaming Bush for a lack of deployable nat. guards in Cali.

Well, it now seems that those on the right have the US Forest Service to strengthen their argument…and those on the left still have the annoyingly-refutable Barbara Boxer.

I still think a lawsuit would be the best venue to resolve this. The enviros love to use lawsuits, so it would be poetic justice as well.

No doubt the search for policy lessons from the catastrophic Southern California wildfires (N.Z. Bear, CBS8) is in its early stages, and no doubt multiple contributing factors will wind up being implicated. Many, though, recall……

Are we taxpayers paying the EnviroWackos to sue us and prevent these kinds of disasters?

My guess is yes, most likely they do.. a non-profit organization is capable of getting US Government $$. We need to stop this madness. Any suggestions?

Went over to read the comments, amazing that a liberal would read that and think they were pearls of wisdom from intellectuals. And they call the conservatives stupid. brother…
