Actually, it is my opinion that forest fires are part of a deliberate hard-green strategy to drive humans out of rural areas and into the cities. Our Hayman fire in CO last year makes it more difficult to get hazard insurance on rural residences. No insurance means no financing on sales, no construction loans etc.
All they have to do is prevent thinning for another twenty years and their dream of concentrating humans in cities will be nearly complete.
Just wait until the enviromentalist get hold of them. Then they will be sorry.It is my belief that the "If I can't have it nobody can" enviro-nazis will join with Al-Qaida to implement this. McVeigh was an enviro PETA wacko as well and probably had close ties to Middle East terrorist organizations. And they all share contempt for Western values and capitalism.
