Ah them Bastards, the Winged Ants for those around here.

mostly because the greenies have this religiously held belief that fire is bad, so the land wasn't burned much and the bush became choked and a lot of fuel built up on the ground.
Oddly enough, it is the 'conservatives' around here that want the 'clear cut policy' because they also don't believe in 'fire'.  Of course they are busy trying to 'develop' every square inch for profit, so they want the land clear cut. That ends up with anemic forests because many of the pines and ground flowers here use the heat of fire to propagate.

Molly say:
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
