Wouldn't discussing 'multiple variables' just be a strategy to legitimize unrelated agendas? We probably shouldn't assume all fires are equal. The more fuel, the bigger the fire, right? It's probably not the best idea to even bring up 'sound policy', isn't it in the eye of the beholder?
To be frank thrifty, I'm not sure how to respond, it seems from your standard fallback of criticizing as an "agenda" something you don't agree with or mocking my recognition that it would have been better to cull these areas rather then let them grow unchecked, your looking to get a few jabs at yours truly...but is a thread discussing the ills of the situation and wishing well to the victims of the California wildfire really the appropriate venue?
Tell you what, I'm gonna pass. I feel very bad for our friends who lost everything and I find trampling over their tragedy to get under your skin distasteful. You may proceed how you wish you ol' narcissist you.
