  BTW

  I have NEVER voted Republican, and your "solution" is grossly inadequate for the mega-task at hand. You obviously know very little about modern western forest management, DRX. Clearly you, and others, will continue to punish ALL foresters for eco-sins committed in the last millenium.

  I have no financial stake in this, other than wanting healthy, resilient dynamic forest ecosystems for me to photograph. Also, I'd like my home in the forest to not burn up in the next firestorm the Feds have planned where I live.

  Once again...

  I see no desire at all from the Obama camp to learn about saving forests, preferring to watch them die, rot and burn. DRX chooses to spout lies about Federal forest management. Yes, they ARE lies because I have discounted his accusations many times.

  There is no one-size-fits-all solution and THAT'S why we aren't hearing anything coming from the left on this forest emergency. To many people, it's just not politically palatable to do what it will take to save our forests. Also, they just aren't progressive enough in their thinking to throw away their partisan politics in favor of sound science.

  Unfortunately, our forests will suffer horribly, billions in assets will go up in smoke and people will die, just like in Australia. History will say that we did have the chance to save those forests but, emotional beliefs trumped science.

  Again!

  Not my bag!

  Again, DRX, I don't work for the timber industry anymore. Again, you display a lack of knowledge about our National Forests, too.

  I just know that we CAN save our forests from the worst impacts of climate change. It's up to the Obama Administration to respond to this disaster. I'm just not seeing ANY solution coming from you guys.

  Martyrdom for our forests isn't an idea the general public are going to like. The clock is still ticking, folks. An incident like we've seen in Australia is inevitable. What will Obama do about it?

  Profit

  Someone will always make a profit off the forests. Right now, the firefighters and support people are making money hand over fist. The billions spent on putting the fires out are nothing compared to the ecosystem losses. Are we going to trust firefighters to make the right decisions when determining whether a fire should not be fought? Big fires bring in big bucks and there's no public oversight or limits on the purse strings. A $3000 fire is allowed to burn into a $100,000,000 firestorm.

  Remember, wildfires are NEVER good for the environment.
