Notice how pro-free speech = pro-clearing brush buildup?
It's so weird how people join these partisan factions that have a full package of beliefs that you have to be evil not to share. Woe to your job if you say that you think brush buildup should be cleared; you're obviously racist.
California, and every other agency that attempts to manage forests, does clear brush, in a variety of different methods and approaches.
It turns out the actual problem is more complicated than "duh just light some fires!"
