I have seen a lot of forest fires while living in the West. Yet, I have not seen one logging operation or the cummulative that contributes more sediment to any stream, more pollution to the air, or kills as many animals (including the T&E variety) as just one forest fire.

So far this year over 2.9 million acres have burned compared to about 0.9 million acres on the average. How can we call ourselves conservationsist or environmentalists when we intentionally destroy our environment by letting it burn? Why not be responsible and manage the forests and their habitat rather than neglect them so we can sit back and let them burn and watch flaming bunnys hop to their death because we think it is natural? How much morbid can we get? When I hear that arguement, it makes me think of one of our past President's attitude about the genocide in Rwanda a few year back.

The writer is correct that this generation, with it's crazy and irrational ideas on how to deal with renewable and non-renewable resources, is dumber than the dino's. Unless something drastic changes, it's extinction/self-annihilation is probably not too far off.
