I knew GF and Architect would jump on my saying this. So predictable.
But some idiots will rebuild their houses and then it will happen all over again. I am just as horrified by the loss of life and the lives of so many animals as the next person. I can't really think of a worse situation than to be confronted and consumed by fire.
You would think if controlled burns was the answer, they would have adopted it by now. No one can be that stupid, can they? I suspect it is not the answer because they seem to have acres of brush and not as many established forests when these fires happen.
But, if I let my mind wander and give full rein to my thoughts, perhaps there is a message being sent - not a political message - but a spiritual message that we not hearing? I sincerely doubt as help arrives from all over the west, fireman are refusing to fight along side of someone that doesn't have the same political leanings as the next. Yet put them in a non-emergency situtation and would it still be the same?
