Re: "Thanks Arco", that's kind and supportive of Arco. My question is why are people having children when they can't afford them? Are they counting on the taxpayers to cover the bills for their families and for Arco to give them free gas to attend their free appointments and surgeries? Maybe I'm the fool for working 60 hours a week and buying gas and paying for medical insurance for my family.

Having fished and hiked all the canyons in the Angeles National Forest in So. Cal.for 40 years, I pity the firefighters that are down there on the LA fire. It is rugged and steep, and about 90% Manzanita bushes, which burn hot and fast. And almost impossibe to get to.

Having lived in the southland for 18 years, I can remember notable fires, we and our neighbors witnessed the red glow against the night sky. Living in an area where wood shake roofing was popular most of the time, was worrisome to all of us when watching glowing embers floating by.
My father in law was an LA Fireman who worked some of the big fires back then. But the big fires didn't seem nearly as numerous or as devestating as the fires we've seen throughout the state since 2000. Then after the fires there is the rainfall runoff that washes out the devestated areas with catastrophic mud flows. It makes me wonder, could some of these mega fires be organized acts of terrorism?

And could Obama be behind them?

I really think Publius is showing signs of clinical paranoia, like so many of those overfed on a diet of talk radio hysteria where boogeymen lurk in ever news story.

Good question.
Another good question...
Why are people smoking when they can't afford heart-lung transplants?
Why are people speeding when they can't afford either a ticket or the trauma center?
Why are people drinking when they can't afford the DUI or increase in insurance or the liver transplant?
Why are people voting when they can't afford the crap the people they vote for promise?
Why are you so stupid that you can't recognise human nature?
Why did fiscal conservitives vote for Boy George (TWICE) knowing that he was a free spending idiot who had no concept of good governance?
Why did Boy George lie to the American People constantly over eight years? Without question?
Well, we know the answer to that one.
Why, you ask?
Because the American people reley on the main stream media for information.
That is why.
