@DufusRigamaroll@Bencjacobs@daveweigel I'm not endorsing it, but many ancient city states upon which our own government is based, Rome being a prominent example, had a law where it was legal to kill any person who would make themselves king.
@m_dal_borgo hahahahaha I was just reading Thucydides and came across that section, googled "monosandalism" and this was one of the very few results! And even this is 5 years old!
More than 4,000 are fighting the Camp and Woolsey Fires in California that have burned over 170,000 acres. Our hearts are with those fighting the fires, the 52,000 who have evacuated, and the families of the 11 who have died. The destruction is catastrophic. God Bless them all.
There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!
