Smoky The Bear doesn't approve

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/31/fire.california/

CNN is reporting that the 'wildfires' are not that wild since they were started by a kid playing with matches. First off, how would Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department know that? 'Tis some sloppy reporting if they don't at least go into the details of how they came up with that theory. Second, doesn't this sound like a republican plot to try to pin it on anything or anybody but their years of trashing the environment?

Words to live by

To the Chinese, freedom is a threat. To the right wingers, criticism of the Catholic Church was a threat. To some folks in Missouri, the fact that I continually bring up issues related to Johnson's shut-ins is a threat. Exactly how do we define a level of 'threat' in this ~~new Gestapo~~ brave new world? Is it in the eye of the beholder?
