… by getting rid of them? Yes, that’s right. George W. Bush proposes stopping future forest fires by relaxing logging resitrictions so we can “thin” the forests — go straight to the heart of the problem. It makes sense, I guess, in a backwards and perverted sort of way. Why not take this same philosophy and “thin” the cause of many more deaths each year in the US, over ten thousand of them — firearms. Oh, but wait, that would make too much sense. Sorry.
