Cecil the Lion, Wild Fires, and Green Brilliance News

Going through a pile of newspapers I really found newsworthy, I see a letter to the editor suggesting that our indignation over the Evil Dentist who used money and deception to hunt down a protected lion means "Coveting, Plunder and greed, overspending and wastefulness, the death of innocence--all are beats of the capitalistic drum" but we are "desperate to show that we are not guilty of the same crimes."

These words on the "Insane" wildfire in Lake County..."The ravenous blaze racing through the area may not be a living organism, but fire behaior specialists say the vast oval of flame has been acting like a demon, bolting in all directions, shotting out superheated tentacles and even creating its own weather...the fickle inferno...tripled in size in recent days despite the all-out assault."  The fire has gone in all directions with intensity.  "It's like an amoeba."  It's "spreading on its own without the help of strong winds that would normally be needed...insane fire behavior."

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
