\u201cHave you seen the commercial with Smokey the Bear saying \u201conly you can prevent forest fires\u201d? Every time I see it I laugh because it\u2019s so stupid. I mean it really is when you think about it. I\u2019m only in 4th grade and even I know that the four main causes of wildfires are lightning, volcanic eruptions, spontaneous combustion, and rockfall sparks. I don\u2019t have any control over any of those things. I thought the causes of forest fires was pretty basic natural science studies stuff that most people know. Actually I learned about the four causes in scouts but I already knew about lightening. Everyone should already know lightning causes a lot of fires and nobody controls lightening. Although it\u2019d pretty cool, like Zeus or something.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Summarizing; <\/p>\n

\u201cNot everything bad that happens to the earth is our fault. A lot of it is natural causes. Aren\u2019t grown up supposed to know these things?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I thought it was a tad apropos given yesterday\u2019s discussion on the total bunk that is \u201cglobal warming\u201d. If you stop by his blog, please know that it is heavily moderated by me. He is only nine after all. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
