<<Nature has always been the best method of thinning forests. If you consider the enormity of our forest lands, how is it humanly possible for Bush to even make a dent in thinning underbrush, not even considering the manpower such an attempt would facilitate? Hasn't this pro business president spent enough of the US budget? How far does he need to throw your money before you realize that he has brought his emotional problems and lack of knowledge to guarantee that the economy is a dead duck for many years to come. The best idea is to clear lands immediately around those who build in the woods to prevent loss of life and homes.>> I don't know where to start with this post. Were you aware that people have been halted from some or all tree cutting - even on their own properties - then cutting allowed only as fire licks at their very doors? What should be done in mountain communities where the edge of the city limits / private property backs up directly against national forest or (worse yet) a national park(Yellowstone...) - Shouldn't some cutting be allowed against the edge of the city with-in these National treasures? For 30-50 years timbering has been restricted or eliminated in some areas but even small undergrowth fires have also been snuffed allowing the "overgrowth of undergrowth" how do we know fix the multi-year problem? In National Parks there are often more assets than just the forest / wildlife which are being protected from fires. How do we now allow nature to do the function of undergrowth removal while providing needed protection for historic structures / sites, water quality, the local economy, human life or even endangered wildlife? In areas of 150' lodgepole pine to protect life & structures the "lands immediately around" which would need be cleared might need be several acres - this area is that which Bush will now allow be cleared. Are you saying Bush inflated the tech bubble, created the corp. lies(we now know Worldcom lied about earnings in 99) or attacked the WTC 9-11? Is so you're more wrong than is Bush.
