Foxnews already began the speculation on whether it is terrorist related. Another site is speculating about how many illegals were involved." I bet they were dissapointed when it turned out to be a kid without ties to either OBL or MoveOn.org. Re: “Good post and you are correct.

You mean a decorated war veteran presidential candidate, along with all wounded servicemen and women are mocked by Republican Presidential Convention attendees wearing little band aids with purple hearts on them? Or, as always for Conservatives, was that DIFFERENT? Re: “But we’re in a different political ballgame now with no boundaries and few rules to live by.”

Case in point recently, the ill-informed Harvey Wasserman, MUSE "activists" and their associated sycophants are still beating the drum against the non-military use of nuclear technology for electric power generation. Note the photo on <a href="http://www.guacfund.org/" rel="nofollow">this page</a>, suggesting the San Onofre nuclear reactors were being threatened by the southern California wildfires. Apparently their "logic" dictates that if a nuclear plant can be threatened by a wildfire in southern California, then we should never build another one <i>anywhere</i> on the planet. For those whose world view and actions are driven by facts, logic and common sense, instead of by emotions, narcissism and idealistic wishful thinking, it wasn't difficult at all to get to the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/bondsNews/idUSN2460054220071024?pageNumber=2&sp=true" rel="nofollow">truth</a> of the matter. If these folks are going to ply themselves and others with logical fallacies, at least they could have the good sense to start with verifiable facts.

This is a great assessment. The human dimensions of this are what are most important now, and the practicalities of getting the fires under control. It's not over, and if there is egregious blame, then it must be documented, not just spouted as rhetoric. There is enough adrenalin in the air as it is. I agree completely.
