No, not literally but it did get your attention didn't it. What is burning is much of the Amazon which provides 20% of the Earths oxygen. Now what's going on is that Brazilian farmers are using fire to clear their lands and being good conservatives who feel no obligation but to themselves, they have no qualms about the overall consequences of their actions. I mean, so long as they get theirs who cares about anyone else, correct!

Now the reason for this thread is apparently your president has been giving serious thoughts to sending help to Brazil as their president threw up his hands and said the job was too big for him. Now, this brings about all sorts of free-market questions as well as questions on when we (conservatives that is) should be sticking our noses into other peoples business. I mean it's their trees right. So what if we and the rest of the planet are harmed by their actions. It's their country, their trees, they can burn them, slash them and the rest of the world be damned, correct.

So should Trump as your president and your representative to the world be sticking his nose into what all good Capitalists call for a free-market solution? Of course, me, as a red-blooded socialist am simply going to use this as one more example of how free-market Capitalism can't provide answers for all of our problem. There was a time when we could slash and burn with no one accountable to anyone but those days passed centuries ago--even though you cons as slow to catch on to the fact that we, as a country, have responsibilities to the rest of the world and they have responsibilities to us.

So what do you think? Should we, the US, offer help to Brazil even though with no one to stop their farmers they will simply do it again as fire is the most economical way for them to clear their lands. And if Brazils actions do indeed threaten 20% of the earth's oxygen should we step in then because if our planet loses 20% oxygen people will die, in this country and around the world? We could always use our military to take over Brazil, you cons would love that, but when our actions threatened others we simply pretended like they didn't and told the world to go fuk itself. Doesn't Brazil have the same right or does the biggest stick win?

As always, I am waiting with bait on my breath wanting to know what you cons have to say about this one. Should Capitalism be allowed to run its course or should our president and government step in to fix what Capitalism failed to do???

This Is What Has Been Going On In The Amazon For Decades
Slash And Burn Farmers....Farmers Are Destroying The Forest
Why Don't You Research The Situation In The Cities
Before Saying More Stupid S**t

It Hasn't Been The Cause de Jour
For Quite Some Time
But It Used To Be Weekly News
Even Nat'l Geographic Has Dev**ed Issues To The Farmer Issue
Here's One From Smithsonian, Just A Quick Click BTW
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-farming-project-brazil-turned-social-and-ecological-tragedy-180956310/

Look It Up
Loggers Aren't Allowed To Touch The Trees
The Farmers Are About To Burn
Logger Trees Have To Be Inspected, Approved, And Tagged

Yeah, Those Dirt Poor Farmers Are So Selfish
Unlike You In Your Comfortable Style, Standing In Judgement

Perhaps, by the time man has finished off this planet, he will have found and flown to a new one. It isn't rocketing science to realize things can't keep goin' merrily along for much longer. I think for some, the answer is war. I suspect there have been measures taken for some to survive while the rest of us are k**led off outright or die from radiation poisoning.

Unless nuclear bombardment knocks the planet out of orbit and nothing can survive, I suspect that like cockroaches, some people will survive and things will start over. In fact, it has been speculated that this cycle of events has happened a few times already.

To step in would be consistent with the Green house initiative and the fight against g****l w*****g; for the most part the world agrees with said initiatives,so this should not constitute such an adversarial problem.In order to solve the problem of objections from Brazil;this brings about a scenario where this country and the world should form a non-aggressive coalition (because it is in their interest to do so) to monetarily compensate Brazil for not depleting twenty percent of the world's oxygen supply, and for their loss so far as not to be able to clear the land for agricultural purposes to procure profit and presumably feed it's people.

So Brazilians are destroying their rain forests and that makes them Conservatives and somehow once again it is America's fault. It is always America's fault. Blame America is the Liberal Mantra.

I actually agree with you that Brazil shouldn't be doing it. Why should you blame Capitalism ? The C*******ts in the Eastern Block matched and surpassed Capitalism in Environmental problems.

Besides I would think a G****l W*****g Warrior like yourself would applaud Brazil. They keep cutting down the rain forests to plant sugar cane and make ethanol for fuel instead of burning EVIL OIL.

What don't you understand is Brazil wants to improve their economy and they figure opening up land will do that. So what would you who isn't worth the dirt he is made of have Trump do, military invade one of our allies? I don"t blame Trump I would blame some worthless Socialist or that little murderer in North Korea but I like this president along with the other Americans worth their salt. Since you are so worried about it and you brought it up it's up to you to do something about it. Or are you just talk and no action and don't forget to take a bunch of your kind with you socialist if you even know what a socialist is. Don't forget a bucket of water.

He's not a liberal. He h**es this country more than that. He's a socialist If he is serious he will start hitching South and when he has single handed put out the fire he will move to Brazil's neighbor and live happily ever after in his socialist utopia never again to burden our welfare system.

If he goes to that neighbor, he should bring plenty of toilet paper. It is worth far more than money. Certainly more than their Socialist money. I bet if you drove a tractor trailer full of toilet paper there, you could live like a King, Obama, Pelosi, Steyer, the Clintons, or any other rich Democrat. Or you could live like Epstein. Maybe buy an island
