What needs to happen is the folks who have lost their homes or, worse yet, family members need to sue the environmental groups that sued to prevent logging or thinning even of dead trees in the area where the fire occurred. 66% of thinning and brush removal projects were held up by environmentalist lawsuits which were later thrown out, but substantial delays happened and dollars that could have been spent on removal of brush and trees was spent on lawyering.

The environmental groups are exempt from lawsuit. Clinton invoked EO-12986 to indemnify members of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) from all civil liability. The IUCN is essentially the EPA of the UN. Bush has not rescinded that EO.

Isn't that sweet? The eco-nuts are exempt from the destruction caused by their actions. Yet gun makers are liable for crimes commited by people who stole guns from people who bought them legally.

Ok, I guess those who lost property in the fires now have to sue the match companies. Makes as much sense as most other class action suits do.

Thanks for the heads up on this.
