THAT's funny.
It's also true. If there's one anthropogenic force in the world capable of making a mess of the environment, it's socialism.
It should deeply concern you as an American
that the man PBS chooses to explain the failure
of Columbia, Bill Kauffman, has called the US Forest
Service the next thing to criminal on this issue.

Weather turning wildfire outlook from bad to worse.

I wasn't aware that it took a person of a certain
political stripe to suffer from wildfire or even to
organize to defend from them. After all, firefighting
is something the taxpayer pays for. And the taxpayer
gets to ortganize how that's done, up to and including
the ANG in the case of large air tankers.
I do know that in the pioneer days, often one town
with taxpayer resources would refuse to send
another town (or anybody outside the town's tax grab)
to help with taxpayers' superior firefighting resources.
Then, there are the cases where everybody pitched in
to help on the fire (or even to build a barn in the
aftermath). Is that socialist too?
And when the government bureaucrat shuts
down a clearly superior firefighing resource,
Free Republic wants a hand in shutting it down
too?
Is this what you're saying, Carrie?
Give your head a shake.
