        I still don’t understand why cremation isn’t a bigger thing. Or allowing people to donate themselves as fertilizer

          Burial is the single family detached house of death. Needs to go the way of adding freeway lanes.

      It ignited Wednesday when authorities said a man pushed a burning car into a gully in Chico and then calmly blended in with others fleeing the scene

    I’m pretty sure we already have the answers? Sensible water management, fighting climate change, and burning the forests that literally evolved to burn.

      Great summary and spot on.

      People really don’t understand how forests, especially pine, reproduce and thrive. Fire, that’s how.

        Well people own real estate there now… So admitting that would result in “much property values destruction”

        It doesn’t seem like anyone even thinking about it.
