We got all these tree huggers saying shit like "We can't cut down all those dying trees even thought theyre a fire hazzard, Just think of all the endangered animals that live there" Jeez, then the damn forest catches on fire and they go crazy wanting to put the fire out ...if we could have just cut the trees and cleared the underbrush that has been gathering ever since the forest service started to put the forest fires out, back in the 40's, then planted new trees, the forest would have been healthy. Maybe one day our people will realize that our efforts of conservation are just making things worse
