Whats the real reason for the Californicate fires isnt it the Sierra Club?

Question

If Californicate had told the wacko Sierra Club so called enviromentalist to go to hell and done what was right yrs ago there wouldnt have been all of these fires in recent yrs. Can you imagine knowing what the dangers are in Californicate and making it against the law for homeowners to even consider cutting a tree that would endanger their house or making it against the law to clean up brush or against the law to clear a fire break. These bunch of Sierra idiots have caused more grief and pain in Californicate than any criminals and if the govt. there after this fire has any sense they will tell the Sierra Club to go straight to hell and start managing their forest to protect against another catastrophe such as the one in 03 and the present fire do you agree or disagree?

Answer 1

I think we tend to blame natural disasters on the government. People can't start NATURAL disasters! That's why they are called natural. These fires started because it's hot and dry. Maybe some guy was smoking outside and threw it on the ground and walked away...THAT could have started the fire. People do this all the time. The democrats blamed Bush for starting Hurricane Katrina. I don't think Bush has a golden hurricane wand that he waves when he goes to the beach...Natural disasters are natural and we need to stop blaming them on the government...That is why this country in falling apart. There...I'm done.

Answer 2

Obviously you have never been to California, at least not the hilly parts.

Such fires have been occurring as part of nature in California and elsewhere in the US and the world since time began.

I am not in the area where the current fires are, but I am within a stone's throw of the place where the Sierras start to rise up from the Valley less then a mile away, and when I stepped outside I smelled that unique California smell in the weather that you get this time of year: fire. Not smoke, just the sense that fire is imminent the way you can sense a thunderstorm sometimes.

Part of the issue in modern times is that houses and other human habitat is built up in the fire zones. Imagine if the houses that burned weren't where they were - would the firefighting strategy have been different?

Sure, very large sections of California are National forests, National Parks, National Monuments, and State Parks as well.

Those are meant to burn occasionally. I didn't see you griping earlier this summer when Henry Coe State Park burned near San Jose. Coe, which is as remote as almost anywhere in the state, does not have houses or other structures in the middle of it, and few on its outskirts.

It took a while to contain, but size wise it was not really worse then some of the current fires - it was similar.

Why wasn't it national news?

Because forests burn and then they grow back. No one is surprised about that.

It is only when houses are built in fire zones that anyone cares.

Print this answer out and refer to it when California has mudslides some time, but also remember when houses are destroyed in a hurricane in the East (never happens in California!) or a tornado in the Plains or a flood along the Mississippi or a blizzard in the north.

Because the answer is essentially the same - every place has its types of disasters, and humans choose to live there because we have to live somewhere.

Seriously, cut it out and carry it with you at all times!

Answer 3

I think we blame the state of California then the federal government for not enacting policies and funding projects to keep something like this from happening. Firefighters should be better funded and state wide disasters shouldn't be allowed to happen. Doesn't the federal and state government have bureaus and agencies enacted to keep things like this from occurring? Terrorists are laughing their asses off because you don't seem to have to plan anything for a massive amount of destruction, just light an effen match.

Answer 4

At least you're not angry...

I haven't been paying close attention, but until the cause of the fire is known, sit back and wait before blaming SC. I don't know what they do, really.

to herald a paramilitary police state and permit the substantial bankers to farm us extra profitably. to herald extra international governance and get rid of civil rights, certainty and democracy. The "conflict opposed to terrorism" is a organic hoax from start to end. motor vehicle crashes kill lots extra human beings. Processed meals probable reason extra deaths. pollutants probable kills extra. Poverty and starvation kills extra. melancholy kills extra. Homelessness probable kills extra. If our governments somewhat gave a monkeys approximately us then our lives could be better and longer. the international could be ran extra sustainably for our chidren's destiny. If our "governments" incredibly cared for us they could enable us to be responsive to the actuality. in the event that they actually cared they could lead us somewhat of exploiting us. If there have been no terrorists, our governments could bend over backwards to kill human beings till that they had "recruited" some.
