It is frustrating how we the peons have no say or sway with unelected bureaucrats but we have to live with the consequences of their decisions.
KABC Radio here in SoCal had Professor Thomas M. Bonnicksen from Texas A&M on last night. He mentioned that the envoironmentalist extremists layed the foundation for these massive fires by not allowing the proper management of the forests.
In his book Prof. Bonnicksen chronicles how aboriginal peoples across the world have used fire to manage the forests and preserve floral and faunal diversity. As a former senior member of the Sierra Club he notes that the Sierra Club's "NO Cut" policy is strangling our forests.
If you really care about the forests of America you should give this book a read.
The book is called:
America's Ancient Forests : From the Ice Age to the Age of Discovery
by Thomas M. Bonnicksen (Author)
