The freepers say they are (there's also an element that says that there's no way a cigarette thrown from a car window can ignite a wildfire).

1. I think they should be told that God is doing it because he's so pissed off with the US
right now......

2. Tit for tat. They are usually the first to blame our sinfulness for God's
wrath. So now we turn the argument back on them.

7. It's always about framing the debate. It seems that the Irrationals (wrongwingers)
have been framing the debate for way too long, intimidating everyone else, and it's about time this changes.

3. A lot of things can ignite a wildfire including tossed cigarettes
For example, empty glass bottles can start one the same way a magnifying glass can.

Off road vehicles' engines, incompletely extinguished camp fires, etc... all sorts of things. A trained fire investigator can often tell, but not by reading articles on the internet -- they have to go there and look at the scene.

4. No, I'm going with the "God is mad at us" thing.

5. Is god mad because we're a fag country or because we haven't killed enough ragheads?
It's all so confusing.

6. Cutting grass this morning, it looked like someone was trying to
burn some paper or magazines near the side of the house where the gas meter is. I was going to jump on my 14 year old this afternoon for this stupid move. But now I think I'll be calling homeland Security. After all this could be the work of terrorists.:crazy:
