in california, you cannot burn your fireplace except for certain days. the envirowackos have caused a real problem here.

I feel for you. I could never live in a nanny state like California. It was bad enough the last time I was there in '71'. It has gotten considerably worse.

Not statewide...maybe in your area, but sure not around here (of course I'm in the low desert, so heating is pretty much of a non-event).

I live in a rural part of Alaska, no organized local borough govt; life is just fine without it too.

No taxes (prop,school,income, sales,ect) no zoning, no comprehensive plans, no law enforcement, no services, no govt beurocracy. We do have too many mosquitoes right now and it does get awful cold come february, but I wouldn't want govt here to get it solved

Best part, without all the govt junk; believe it or not, We never lock doors or take keys outta anything. Hasn't been a murder in 30 years and that boy was drownd for stealin. Don't somehow seen right when everybody has a pistol on their side for bear protection.
