HB, 2 million acres burned in Idaho this year alone do the math now take that and place it over your state of Missouri, 11.2 million has burned so far across the country. In Idaho more than a million of that burned in the mountains in the forest, it was trees and they were wiped out over vast stretches. The areas all burned together creating a path of destruction some 30 miles wide and 90 miles long.

I don't care if you care or not, it ain't like your old ass is going to ever come back out west again considering how worried you are that the government won't take over your healthcare. Real people are put in real dangerous situations due to mismanagement of national forest land.

hillbilly, thinking that the forest service is going to be around in another 100 years is a bit premature.

HB why don't you answer a question, being the conservative you say you are (of course that is bullchit and you prove it daily) what's better, local or national control of these forests?

You are a believer in the liberal notion of wilderness, that believes man wasn't a part of the wilderness, how foolish are you? Now you want the wilderness practices placed on national forest. You are an idiot, behind the curve and too stupid to realize your mistakes.

The forests you so want your children to enjoy are fantastic places to visit now, the stands of trees are being replaced by grass. Now if someone would just forest the plains we can have total transference
