Good post. Yet again, the psuedo intellectuals in government, who claim to know it all, and who want to run every aspect of our lives, are found to know nothing compared with the forces of nature. This post clearly makes the case that, in believing that "fire supression" and "controlled burns", as part of the government's "forest management" scheme, have brought utter disaster. While the natural fires serve to clear the deadwood, and clear room for trees to grow in, and control predator insect populations, etc., the conflagrations that have enveloped the "managed forests" have completely destroyed the ecosystem. Great job, fools. Wonder if we could have a program where we pay these fools, but not allow them to actually do anything. We would be better off, to be sure.
Sad, but true.
