When Smoky Bear said "Only YOU can prevent forest fires", I guess he must have been addressing God. All of them seemed to have been started by lightning.

Or maybe he was addressing the Sierra Clubbers et.al., who are responsible for turning small managable fires into big uncontrollable ones.

Or maybe the federal gubbermint on whose land the vast majority of these fires are burning. The feds are wholly incompetent stewards of the land. Its time to transfer title of all federal lands to the states.
