Opinari.net
Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy. |

Neal Boortz, Atlanta's libertarian loudmouth, opines about the California wildfires:
These wildfires and these lost homes reminded me of one government outrage I related to listeners quite a few years ago. Is it possible that some of these homes could have been saved if it were not for the Rat Nazis?
Rat Nazis? What in the hell are Rat Nazis? The Rat Nazis are the great and exalted protectors of the kangaroo rat ... that cute little critter which inhabits the very areas that were burning over the past weekend. I can't say that this is happening today, but several years ago the Rat Nazis wouldn't let you clear an area of underbrush around your home in order to protect it from fires. The underbrush, you see, was a kangaroo rat habitat. I remember one story where a homeowner proceeded to clear a firebreak around his home anyway. Good thing he did, too, because the fire came along within days and destroyed all homes on his street --- except his. After the smoke cleared the government cited this poor SOB for clearing out a rat habitat.
Government ... gotta love it.
I don't know what the cause is, per se. Odds are we will be told that Bush, Clinton, and anything in between are responsible. But... it makes me wonder about the environmental policies of the Left Coast.Labels: Archives_2003
