Yeah, I think he's right about controlled burns. It would be unsafe near homes and air quality regs would restrict it. I have long thought that there are some place people just can't safely live. Not popular to say but I don't see another option. We aren't gods.

And you know what? The government (state) is not god either. I get so sick of politicians talking like they can just speak things into existence. They are fools and evil ones at that.

One day it just clicked with me. Politicians behave as if the state is a god. They can just speak things into existence. The Federal Reserve (Fiat) is an example of this. They believe they can just make something by fiat and set its value. Its a trick and one that only works for a short time. The consequences are dramatic.
The state is functionally treated like a deity. Its not just a religion but treated as a god. Politicians act like little demi-gods. I say down with the idolatry. There is one God and the Bible is full of examples of God making fools of the state.
