Just got back to Idaho last night with Jared (actually it was 2 AM).
The tragedies in the west this summer (and for the last several) with respect to the fire conditions I place right at the feet of the enviro-nazi's and the politicians who abett and countenance them. The price for their votes/lobby continues to grows steeper as time goes on.
While we would still have fires ... and while there would still be bad ones ... the devestation has been enhanced ten fold (IMHO) as a result of the policies and mismanagement associated with their practice. It is a price that is adding up and being kept account of in the hearts and souls of honest, hard-working Americans. It is a cost that the pols and their undeelings ignore or turn their backs on at the peril of their own political and otherwise miserable hides.
