Naah, the lives of 17,000 Oregonians being in harm's way is not major news to most Freepers.

Even if more than 200,000 Oregonians in surrounding areas are being affected by the smoke, it is not important.

This is not a priority to 99.99999999999% of the Freepers. They don't care nor do they see these fires in Oregon/California as an important conservative issue/news.

Very good friends told us last night that the Mother of the husband had to be evacuated from the Ashland area to go to Portland due to the smoke. She was up there for the month for the Shakespear Festival. She was taken to the hospital twice last week and again on the weekend due to breathing problems due to the smoke. The doctor called her son in Portland and told him to get her out of Ashland before she died. So her son drove down from Portland yesterday and took her to Portland. She was not in great shape.

At my meeting at our church yesterday, a lady who has a cottage in Ashland was at the church. She normally stays up in Ashland, the entire month of August. She came back last Wednesday due to the smoke and ashes. She was sick all day Sunday through Tuesday. So Wednesday, she packed up and closed up her cottage and drove home. A big financial loss to Ashland and Oregon with these two ladies leaving Ashland.

I can't blame the admin moderator. This is not important news to most freepers with other pressing personal agendas.

This is a reality that most conservatives/freepers don't want to face. They had rather argue about philosophy than face this reality.

I do wonder what happened to my key words that I posted. I just reposted them. Wonder if they will disappear, too.

Oh well, time to go fly fishing and forget about this non important news for awhile.
