1. Check this one out
To: NormsRevenge
Fewer big wildfires - when can we start? This plan should have been in place years ago.

2. You don't, I take it?
I have a friend who lives in Oregon and he also believes in this.
I didn't know it was political.

8. most of the logging is in old growth forests
far from civilization. They are not clearing brush and decaying old trees, they are chopping down prime forest.
It has nothing to do with forest fires.

3. Preventing forest fires by cutting down all the trees.
I would expect nothing less from this administration. :eyes:

7. Thinning the brush would be helpful, but..
Bush's plan calls for allowing logging companies to thin out the good trees. You can't make any money off of brush, and I doubt timber companies will go out of their way to clear brush since that would be time consuming and not cost effective.

10. I just love the stupid logic of the conservatives.
"We can save our forests by cutting down trees."

Forest fires are a natural occurrence (mostly). Sure, it's a pain in the ass when your house get burned to the ground, but that's the chance you take when you build a house in the woods, isn't it? If I were afraid of hurricaines, I'd not choose to live on the coast. If I were afraid earthquakes, I'd not move to California. If I were afraid of tornados, I'd not live in a trailer park..... OK, I'm getting off topic....

The truth is simply that there's money in cutting down our source of breatheable air, and these fuckheads are more than willing to lie their asses off in order to cash in.

12. what the hell does BTTT mean?
Could you post there? I couldnt post there. Why do they insist on living in a dump? Have they no pride. Am I the only one who can see that the 52 chevy fell off the blocks already and took out the south part of the site?
