Blame the fires on western drought, to be certain. But more 
than that, blame them on a century's worth of fire 
suppression by the US Forest Service. Blame them in part on 
the individual, in those cases where the fires were 
human-caused. But blame nature's lack of forgiveness - the 
kind it seems she once granted more freely - on 100 years of 
injury by those whose job it should have been to protect 
her.

Why all the fires since '99? IMO, it's Smokey's poo finally 
hitting the fan.

I've been thinking about it.
