The point of my post was to say Wacko Environmental Laws contribute to these big fires each year, the lack of clear-cutting, fire-breaks, underbrush clearing.

Hey, Environmentalist stopped a big Flood/Tidal gate on Lake Pontchartrain back in the 70's that would have probably saved New Orleans from flooding during Katrina. So, Those chickens came homse to roost too.

So, chill out. ...it wasn't a personal attack.

You don't get it...You can't clear millions of acres of brush that surrounds hundreds of these communities...It would take an army of people working year round *every* year..

In addition, fire breaks are totally USELESS when ya got winds at 60+ miles per hour, driving these fires, blowing embers FAR beyond or across any fire breaks. These fires can and do spot FAR beyond the fire lines or fire breaks.

And this is exactly what is occurring.
