The citizens of Clay Springs have it exactly right. Do what it takes to protect your homes. The Founding Fathers would have saluted them.
Does anyone think that all of the wildfires occuring within the past few years is more than a coincidence? Does anyone think that it's much like the ESA, a tool being used to move people off the land? Or is it simply the fact that the feds are prohibiting local officials from fighting the fires? Is it environmental policies that have prohibited fire breaks?
You decide.
