It’s not R.E.M.’s “end of the world as we know it” — not yet — but we had better shape up and get with the program.

Throughout time, wildfires have been a good thing for forests and the species they support. Putting out the fires is the injustice to nature. I understand we can't let peoples houses burn down, but when you put the fires out and the forests continue to grow, the underbrush builds up and supports more wildfires. Something to think about.
