Thanks before this fire season if over, Freepers from coast to coast should be using these bumper stickers.

Maybe, but we've got evidence on site that there are several NIMBY freepers; check out Sawgrass Rebellion for examples.

As I said there:

Private property rights are the reason this country has had the success it has today. Show me one country where the ownership of the common property in government hands has created the wealth the US system has. There isn't one. In fact, most governments despoil their holdings and their people, as evidenced by the late USSR and various African states.

Government has a place in regulating the uses and abuses of property, but is has no place in the ownership of that property in this country. My family came here because my late Father could see the encroaching socialism now holding sway in Britain; now we are headed in the same direction. Not with my acquiescence.
There is a limited place for government controls, but they should be local and pertinent to each situation; not 'one-size-fits-all' smothering blankets from coast to coast.
