If you really want to know, then continue to seek. Even if you do it with contempt in your heart your life can be changed. If you''re happy with your life the way it is then don''t ask such questions because you''ll never understand it and so find something else to be bitter about. Another thing you forgot to mention in your rant is what role does Satan play in all this? You have heard of him right? If you believe there is a God, then lets not forget about him. To leave him out would be like giving you half an answer; like lying, like telling you only part of the truth. He doesn''t mind though because he''s loving you and doesn''t want you to change one bit.

draugwolf,

Re: "that border region should be sprayed repeatedly with VX nerve agent.. and dont deny that this needs to be done yesterday"

Threatening mass-murder with WMD, like VX, is a terrorist act.

You lack any standing to point to anyone other than yourself, as a terrorist.

Why don''t you read into what the Bible really says about the "why" and "why not" of things that go on in the world and you might understand a little better. Simply read further and investigate. It will take awhile and many outbursts at God himself. Don''t just pick and choose what you read by taking things out of context either. I tell you these things because it is my duty as a Christian and your anger shows a passion even if it is contemptuous. However, you should consider yourself fortunate there is a God. Have you not heard that because He loved all of us so much, He allowed His son to die for the likes of me and you? I will share what I know and have hope for you but not everything is for us to know or understand. Our minds are like a light bulb that if given a surge of too much power, would blow; a small amount at a time will work.

No, mitch0927, I just blame Bush for the things he''s actually responsible for. Mostly, that''s just for being a worthless, spoiled, rich drunk who got everything in life handed to him by his daddy and his daddy''s friends. But he does deserve blame for the devastation of Katrina. I have seen the video of being sitting like a dope, with his typical drugged-out, far away look on his face, as the scientists explained to him that the storm would hit hard and he needed to take immediate action to evacuate. Bush did NOTHING. Then, long long after the devastation hit, Bush did a photo op in New Orleans and claimed, "We will rebuild!" Instead, he gave away millions of dollars to Blackwater, Haliburton, and other "connected" firms, and left New Orleans in ruins!

I actually blame Cheney for most of the truly evil things going on in this country at the moment, because he knows what he''s doing. Bush is clueless.

You think I''m a "whiner". That''s simply because you don''t want to hear what I have to say. It challenges your irrational beliefs, making you uncomfortable. Too bad for you.

The world exists. Those who seek to know the truth may determine certain truths about it. But whacked out religious nutjobs don''t look for the truth, and neither do the neocon conmen, nor do the vast majority of repugs who have been swindled by the neocons'' massive con job.

When you build millions of homes in the desert, you should not be too surprised when you get burned.

"We will put the fire to your feet " osama bin laden june 2003 ..this is terrorism pure and simple..time to get out of iraq and put all of our efforts into afganistan and invade pakistan and end this once and for all..and don''t be nice about it ..that border region should be sprayed repeatedly with VX nerve agent.. and dont deny that this needs to be done yesterday

[truthspeake2]

FEMA to the rescue again...

[susanhelit]

Most of these homes are not of the rich - quite the contrary. Ramona is a rural town, and Poway is a nice place to live, but far from wealthy. Of course, the million dollar houses burning get more PR - but that''s not the ordinary story here. When this happened 4 years ago, it shut down almost the whole city, from really horrible smoke pollution everywhere - you could see the air even indoors.


San Diego is a semi-desert, so plants dry out quickly, and the Santa Ana winds are horrible strong winds that can go on for days, blowing straight from the desert to the ocean - perfect for carrying sparks - which have even been able to cross the widest freeways (15 lanes - normally a very effective firebreak).

[usbrit-2009]

Scientifically speaking you need three things to start a fire 1) fuel (dry grass etc.) 2) an oxidant (air) and 3) an ignition source (all too often human, however lightening or other sparks suffice).

With due contempt to newster1, whether you''re rich, poor, insured or not, losing one''s home is a tragic event and should evoke sympathy rather than vitriol.

[myidoncbs]

Someone claimed, "It takes a human to start the fires".

Haven''t you ever heard of wildfires being started by LIGHTNING? It happens quite frequently. No human involvement required!

[drivelphobe]

In today''s high tech environment, wouldn''t it be a possibility to shut down electrical current instantly when there is a break in the power line? I don''t get it. It seems that downed power lines are responsible for so many fires.

[killtheliars]

it would be nice to get some help from the Calif. National Guard. Oh, thats right, they are all in Iraq.

[gretsy]

Why do most people BLAME GOD for everything that is bad?

The Bible book of James chapter 1 vs 13 says
"When under trail, let no one say: "I am being tried by God." FOR WITH EVIL THINGS GOD CANNOT BE TRIED NOR DOES HE HIMSELF TRY ANYONE.

Why not put the blame where it is due? SATAN!!!
He is the god of this world and he has always tried to get people to blame GOD for the things he is responsible for. DUH!! SATAN IS ALSO CALLED A god.

The Bible says GOD is love.

Study your Bible and you will know how Satan has deceived almost the whole world with his deceit.

It is like GOD is a real diamond and Satan is like the cheap imitation that is so popular today.

[mike71067]

Santa Ana winds are caused by an unusual high-pressure system of cold air. Oh my - the world is going to hell in a handbasket due to GLOBAL COOLING!!! Al Gore, save us!

[dbstevens]

Reading about how the resources were stretched because of the people who refused to evacuate reminds me of the horrors and absurdity after Katrina. I lost my home and all my belongings then. So much more could have been done to save that city if so much of the resources hadn''t been spent trying to help the stubborn, selfish people who wouldn''t leave and then found themselves immersed in a horrible situation. There was only a small percentage of people who COULDN''T leave. In the case of these wildfires, those stupid, selfish people should be held responsible in some way for some of the damage. Firefighters should be fighting fire, not coaxing fools out of their homes.

Of course, I know it''s not all that clear-cut. But as I sit here and read this article, all those terrible memories come flooding back, and I just sit in wonder at how selfish and foolish people can be, and how badly they can affect others with their behavior. I wonder if people in general are SMART enough to deserve the freedoms we have in this country.

Look up in the dictionary or search on the internet:

"Dadaism"

Once you find the definition/meaning of that word..

...you will then know the style of the postings of "snidegrass".

[l8c6]

Where is the Blackwater fire department? They could still collect government funds and likewise be able to protect the most valued americans without government interference.

[cathaleen]

Tanya Tucker was interviewed and said that there were firemen in her house trying to save her guest house.
Pleeeese

[ladyjaneg]

I''m praying that everyone who hasn''t already been hurt, can stay safe and have a home to go back to.

"Godless places get hit over and over again."

Yeah, it''s God that''s causing all this to happen. Whatever. Why do people always have to make God out to be this vindictive spirit. I''m sure it has nothing to do with people building their houses on windy hillsides covered in dry grasses. Duh. If there''s one silver lining, it''s that anyone who could afford to live in Malibu in the first place can also likely afford to rebuild in Malibu.
