A Sierra Club spokesperson was seen on ABC World News Tonight about 30 minutes ago claiming that people should not be living in these areas.

I am beginning to believe that a fundamental universal law is the constant of selfish perspective of the liberal left.

Instead of permitting freedom to create, they believe that it is their right to limit the opportunities of others.

So, who is going to save Bambi, when the people peel out? F the Sierra Club. Their 15 minutes of fame are over.

SUMMIT VALLEY EVACUATES
Tens of thousands flee Big Bear, Arrowhead

* * *

"Right now we're defensive. We're trying to build lines around the communities," said San Bernardino County fire Battalion Chief Sid Hultquist at Rim of the World High School, 11/2 miles outside Lake Arrowhead.

The fire's eastward push also threatened Running Springs and other small communities where there was no backfiring. The fear there was that fire could spread into a major drainage that would funnel it directly into the heart of Big Bear. The Santa Ana Wash is also home to 30 summer camps.

"If it gets in there, it's got a straight shot up to Big Bear. That's a major concern," Hultquist said.

Similarly, a drainage to the west of Lake Arrowhead was a possible route for fire to climb into that community.

Ack! It figures. ABC and Sierra Club. Two peas in one groovy organic pod.

These areas is a vague statement. If all the mountains were off limits for building, and we still weren't allowed to trim and remove the overgrowth and dead stuff, we would have these fires in the intersection of I-5 and I-8.
I ride various trails pretty much year round. I carry a hand pruner on my saddle. If I do not keep up this trimming, the trails will close in on all of the riders within 12 months or less. I'm actually pretty good at pruning while horse walks...Problem is horse is trained to pretty much trot, so that tests my hand eye abilities.

I saw that numbnuts, also, and I wanted to punch him. Where does he live? Does any part of his house or furniture come from wood? I would like to send most of the radical enviros over to Afganistan to see what living in the 7th century is really like. They might like 2003 better after that trip.
