Whenever a Liberal utters the term "Common Sense approach"....grab your
wallet, your ass, and your guns because the sombitch is about to do
something damned nasty to all three of them.

Not to mention that people aren't allowed to dig fire breaks because it
would disturb the burrows of the mole rat. That was the case in the Orange
County fire 10 years ago, and I doubt the policy has changed.

I always like the rule:

1. must cut every tree and bush within 30 feet of a house.
2. Must not cut any redwoods without legal permit if over 10 acres.
3. Must not cut any redwoods without formal permission from the local
forestry association, and the local 'tree hugger asso.'.
4. if you fall in 2 you are screwed.
5. if you fall in 3 you are really screwed.
6. It is going to burn just try to limit the forest damage.
7. people don't count.
8. if your dog,cat, horse, ferret, .... gets smoke in their eyes
you get to pay a fine.

Oh yea - I loved living in a redwood forest.

"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with
minimum food or water,in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing
clean on him is his weapon. He doesn't worry about what workout to do---
his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him.
The True Believer doesn't care 'how hard it is'; he knows he either wins or he dies.
He doesn't go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the 'Cause.' Now, who wants to quit?"

John McPhee wrote an interesting piece about this over a decade ago,
titled "Los Angeles Against the Mountains," in his book _The Control of
Nature_. It went into the problems of the deepening layer of detritus and
underbrush, and the threat it posed of a really big fire.

I should dig it out and re-read it.

Don't bother, just watch CN [D[D[D Fox News


TV news is not John McPhee. If you really want to know the ins and outs of a
subject like that, he's the best.

I read the piece 10 years ago or so. It was interesting then, and kind of
scary.


I've not read McPhee, but I surely do not watch the TV news channels

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

I sure would if I lived in *your* trailer. It makes good sense. Homasote can
