the owners would be getting harassed and threatened by the fire department to cut them down and make sure any fire hazard is minimized. A fire chief is quoted in the text, but he's not threatening anyone, does he even know who owns that land?

Whose land do those 12.5 million trees stand on? "USDA"? Or "California Pine forest"? Why the f*ck aren't the owners being harassed in the same way little people get harassed?

Private residences with a fire hazard should be ordered to do a cleanup. SunSeeker May 2015 #9

"Anti-government"? Yours is a logic disability, not a reading one. Trillo May 2015 #10

Yup. Sad really. SunSeeker May 2015 #12

I never wrote "clear cut", that has a specific meaning in forestry. Trillo May 2015 #14

What the fuck else could you mean when talking about clearing millions of dead trees? SunSeeker May 2015 #15

Exactly what I wrote, that's "what the fuck." Trillo May 2015 #16
