Gold_tutor, I admit you have a first hand experience and I respect your opinion, even though it could be short sighted.

Looking at this problem from a macro-world wide stance, I believe all people should be discouraged from building in woods and next to National parks simply because they are aware of the chance that a fire will burn them out. Cities near forests are a different story as there should be fire lines cut for protection from forest fires.

Along that line, look at what has happened to the western states from population explosions. Also the swamplands in Florida are in imminent danger from filling in due to population explosions. We could upset our whole climate and much wildlife from cutting and filling wildlife areas.

South America is a good example where the rain forests are being depleted, thus upsetting the balance of nature that puts our land at extreme risk, including the people who don't look at long term effects but only see this issue from a micro view, not caring for our natural resources.

Bush is one of those people who places big business ahead of taking care of our planet.

I was told that we have ruined our source of clean drinking water from streams and rivers. Canada has managed to keep clean water but they could be next by dammming up the rivers, killing off trout who must navigate back to their place of birth to renew life.

The world population will probably double over the next generation. We are running out of room. Man is the filthiest creature on the earth from an ecological standpoint.
