In 20 years they'll all have cancer.<BR/><BR/>Are we really sure the acronym doesn't stand for Fuck Every Motherf***** Alive?Kwachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947544432313181778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36308462.post-5315150257162771622007-10-29T23:26:00.000-05:002007-10-29T23:26:00.000-05:00I'm totally with you on this.

I especially hate the people who refuse to evacuate because saving their home is more important than the lives of firefighters who will never be able to afford to live there.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16279999850117456433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36308462.post-59240754140701576752007-10-25T18:59:00.000-05:002007-10-25T18:59:00.000-05:00I agree that building multi-million dollar houses ...I agree that building multi-million dollar houses in the Malibu hills or on a muddy slope in Washington is sort of like playing Housing Russian Roulette. But, in the case of the current fires in California, nature appears to have had some help from arsonists.<BR/><BR/>That means a lot more bullets in the gun, and crosses over from suicide to homicide.<BR/><BR/>As much as wildland firefighters may be exasperated by people who insist on living in harm's way, how much more infuriating must it be to have someone starting these fires on purpose???<BR/><BR/>KwachKwachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947544432313181778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36308462.post-53524088893854207022007-10-25T18:43:00.000-05:002007-10-25T18:43:00.000-05:00I'll agree with you only if you include tornado al...I'll agree with you only if you include tornado alley.

We have homes here built on hills. It is not bad enough that they want their houses perched on that hill, they cut the trees down all around them so they can see their beautiful view, then the rains come. Their houses slide down the hill and they scream, HELP PAY FOR THIS. Why? So you can build another house on a hill that will eventually slide down it? Why should I have to pay money because you are a dumbass? <BR/><BR/>My question has always been, how did all those really stupid rich people get all that money?Cedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084468926734824846noreply@blogger.com
