Thought USFS-FIRE was exempt from shutdown layoffs? WRONG!

22. You are being snowed!

Unless all republicans are environmentalists , you had better talk to more folks who see /know why the forests are being burnt down. Someone , not only republicans, is allowing fires to escape under the excuse that it is allowing the forests to be managed per 100 of years ago and further back in time. It's the 'Ol the Indians used to let the fires Burn syndrome ' which is partly true , except you don't use this tactic in the middle of summer on overgrown forests and Indians couldn't put them out anyhow. A shut down in my county would be good since we have had almost 3" of rainfall to date and the fires would all but crawl through most of the area. What I'm saying is " Wake up and smell the Roses folks" , find out what is REALLY going on with the USFS. Take a look in the phone book and check off the Government (Fed. ,State, and other gift.) you are paying for without any benefit , I found very few.
