Of course. It's a matter of policy.
But I cannot guarantee you won't have the Il-76s around to help out.
Why would you guarantee we won't have them?
You may wish to join the Forest Service effort in keeping them out while you still have a chance.
Pray tell, why would I do that? I want nothing to do with the USFS.
You seem to fit the bureaucrat profile closer than you do an emergency responder profile.
Hogwash. I prevent problems instead of pretending (much less expecting) an emergency responder will protect my property. I live in fire adapted habitat that has been thinned and weeded for fifteen years. A fire here this summer would help me immensely. If there is a fire here this summer, I intend to take a walk and watch it. The only threat to me is my neighbor's eucalyptus grove three hundred yards from my house.
It is a worthwhile project to get the word out
among people who need to know what their
government is doing with choices.
By cautioning that this is not the place to launch
such a project, I see you as a bureaucrat.
A bureaucrat is, at once, lazy and powerful.
By saying 'no' to worthwhile projects, like
getting the word out on the IL-76, as you have
tried to do here, you exercise your penchant for
both.
Hence, like a bureaucrat, you become the enemy of
Free Republic members you say you seek to serve.
