Stupidity or selfishness?
Please forgive the rant, but sometimes a person just has to, you know?
The National Weather Service has Red Flag Warnings out. For those who don't know, that means conditions are ideal for wildland fire ignition and "explosive fire growth potential". We've got warm weather, high winds, and extremely low humidity. So.....I'm driving along the interstate yesterday and what do I see? Some creep from New York throwing a cigarette out the window of his car. I bet that moron has never had to fight a fire in his life. Do you suppose he would even care about the fire that burned tens of thousands of acres a few years ago and cost big bucks to fight, all started by some tourist who threw a ciggie out the window? If they hate the smell of tobacco so much that they can't have it tainting the smell of their precious cars, then why are they smoking it?
