RE: Fires

We (San Diego) had the pleasure of a National Guard helicopter looking for marijuana plants in the backcountry sparking a fire, which burned for weeks, destroyed 61,690 acres, 37 homes, and cost $22.6M to put out.

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.
