I am so tired of hearing the i***ts in the media blaming the fires on c*****e c****e... Look up the causes and you will see that yes, they are mostly caused by people but it is mostly by arson, campfires, burning trash and high winds knocking down power lines... why don't these supposed intellectuals have enough common sense to suggest that the billions of infrastructure dollars going to deal with so-called c*****e c****e should be used to put the power lines underground... instead they now have to put up with the electric company cutting power when they are threatened with high winds... oh well that's the left for you... cry, cry, cry... and spend and waste... never a real solution...

You might also mention they (MSM) love to shout "The most destructive in history" in wh**ever area is affected.

Carry that one step further - of course it is. There are more people living in previously sparsely populated areas. And the 'destructive' aspect is determined by the amount of money needed to rebuild a home. Checked the price of lumber and labor recently?

When the settlers moved west in the 18th and 19th centuries, they were shown how to do controlled burns of the underbrush by the native Indians(the friendly ones) to protect their crops and dwellings. This system worked well until 1911 when the US forest service was established and the controlled burns were abandoned. Over the years greenies have exacerbated the overgrowth conditions resulting in the devastation we have today.

I agree... another example of ignorant policy makers...

Yes... that is true for all so-called disasters... floods, hurricanes, etc...

In the US Forest Service in '58-'59-'60-'61 I fought a total of 37 forest fires mainly caused by lightening strikes. Smoke jumpers were out of Missoula Montana. They try to stop them...

I also agree, the self proclaimed intelligent liberals do more harm to the climate than anything else and their answers only cost average Americans more money while getting less service and safety!
