Reply #15: No need, David... [View All]

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, I feel your pain -- and your frustration. I know Claremont (and Piru, for that matter -- used to camp and fish there frequently), and I'm sorry -- I didn't mean to imply that I was shrugging off anything.

The reason I was asking about Jerry Brown's statement was that I was blogging about the * admin screwing California out of badly-needed funding to clear dead trees before it was too late. And the reason I was blogging it in the first place was your post:

I'm as sickened and angry about it as you are, David. But please don't feel bad for blowing a fuse -- if you can't blow a fuse on DU, where can you do it? :)

My apologies for not making myself clear enough. If I weren't such a peacenik, I'd be tempted to draw and quarter the arsonists myself. By hand. Slowly. On television.

P.S. After giving up on finding a link to Jerry's remarks, I got my blog entry up late last night, if you'd like to read it:

I just hope it helps, in some small way.
