I will explain it to you since your knee jerk self riotousness blinds you to the painfully obvious. Many of these people are fashionable greens. Not quite so much fun for them to actually bear the consequences of their Green dogmas. Proper conservation techniques would prevent these sort of disasters but because of their rabid Green dogmas, they prevent anything that might spoil their "pristine" environment. Kind of a case of their chickens coming home to roost.
Good point....
Blablabla... very by-passable...
You don't know anything about the area. Most of the rest of us do. California is desert with lots of dry grasses this time of year. The wind and weather don't respect political points of view.
Please don't tell us how very funny you are because you are not. We are concerned about the people whose lives are in danger.
Why not just leave this thread?
