And don’t let the hippies con you with their BS. Indians (or ‘native Americans’, as my daughter insists) practised clear-cutting, burning and other odious sins against Mother Gaia because it made for better hunting and was practical stewardship of the land, as opposed to saving snail darters.
The feds do firebreaks themselves. Other than that they are most effective in demanding rents for “their” land.

Went through 14 years of government indoctrination and they have yet to fool me. ;) I honestly don’t have anything against these practices. I was concerned about possible arson and the people who could be injured as a result, not about “controversial” farming/wilderness techniques.
