It's now clear that only the U.S. Forest Service and other land management agencies...can prevent catastrophic wildfires.

A major non-sequitur. Private landowners are the best managers of their piece of the forest.

I agree with this comment of yours: Private landowners are the best managers of their piece of the forest.

When I hear the mantra of turning the federal property over to the states, my stomach tightens up.

When you have the left wing enviral governors that we have in Kali, Oregone and Washington, and the power the envirals have with the state legislators, it might even be worse if those state lands were in the hands of the envirals hand picked governors.

Lets get a reversal of this federalize land back into individually owned land.
