Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Pull your head out and think for yourself for a second.

The fires were caused by lightning (more or less). The fires' severity was caused by a massive buildup of fuel. The massive buildup of fuel was caused by the MENTAL environmentalists' (you are correct in that there are good ones to be found) policy of "hands off management". And finally, the lasting damage, weeds, weeds and more weeds, will also be the fault of the envirals.
There is no way around it. People have been messing with the land for far to long to stop messing with it.

And if you think for one second that the green jihadists are only out to help the environment think again. Their number one goal is the end of private property. And it just so happens that wild fire (due to incredible amounts of ground fuel, directly resulting from their insane hands off laws) serves that end quite nicely. Coincidence?

The increased fuel load was due to fire supression. Hands off would therefore have meant that the fires wouldn't have been as servere. Sue if we cut down the trees they wouldn't burn either.

The point is that if we had listened to them the fires wouldn't have been as bad. It's impossible to logically argue with that.

The fact that you think that they wanted these fires to take away private property speaks volumes.
