Wood burners are selfish people and they STINK.

We need to outlaw wood; the smoke when it is burned contains over 200 chemicals, 1/4 of them toxic and many carcinogenic.

We non-wood burners have rights and we outnumber you.

Not at the 1,300°F temperatures of my catalytic converter, nor with the twelve miles of distance and 1200' of altitude I have for dispersion. You and your majority don't have a beef with my stove.

Toxicity is a matter of dosage, but then, you don't care about that when you finally think you can vent your frustrations. The people of Los Angeles just got a pretty nasty dose of the consequences of your kind of thinking.

Oh, lookie there! A democratic claim. Well, last time I read the Constitution, we live in a republic. That means I have property rights that say that you don't have the right to mandate processes that stupidly destroy my forest without paying for it. If you want me not to use natural processes to manage my forest, you'll have to pay for the substitutes or suffer the same fate as the people of LA do now. Those are laws of physics and economics that don't give a hang about your fantasy "rights." Your comment is collectivism worthy of a Soviet apparatchik.

You flunked again "professor."
