Op-Ed on fires, natural or not.

There's another big fire in SoCal around Laguna Niguel area right now! This is the second fire in the area within a year that has burned serval multimillion dollar homes.

My opinion... so what! 🤷🏻‍♂️

They built those expensive houses there and did nothing about the surrounding area.

Now not being heartless, I do care about the wildlife. They had absolutely nothing to do with the situation. Yet the owners of those homes expect others to clear the surrounding areas.

You see I have lived on a large parcel of land before for over twelve years. Twenty acres to be exact and I did my own clearing. Two acres by hand to be exact.

These people are very wealthy, I always have been poor. If I could clear two acres by hand then I can have no sympathy for any that refuse to do anything despite their own wealth!

Something something personal responsibility something.

And that's the fact, many land owners don't have the responsibility to their own holdings or the community at large.

Look at that power company that was caught not taking care of the lines, which caused that massive blaze a few years ago.

Homeowners who don't clear their land nor have fire breaks.

It's my belief that responsibility is starting to be seen as another person's problem.
