Fire Pits Of Doom

Okay here we go again with the nanny state stuff. Scientific American magazine begins their article with “The Environmental Dangers of Backyard Fire Pits.” and “These popular landscape features may have a global impact”. They go on to weave a tail of how it may impact people who have heart and lung disorders. Really? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), so-called fine particles are the most dangerous components of wood smoke from a health perspective, as they “can get into your eyes and respiratory system, where they can cause health problems such as burning eyes, runny nose and illnesses such as bronchitis.” Oh my goodness! Just think of all the children in scouting (boy/girl scouts etc.) that have cooked their meals and roasted marshmallows over the years that that are now confined to respiratory recovery units. Their little lives forever altered by they side affects of making s'mores with their friends and families.

I have about had it with being told what to do by bureaucratic agencies who are run by political appointees. What pathetically uneventful and sterile lives we would all lead if we believed this tripe. Tell you what, if the campfire is burning your eyes, pull your head out of the fire!

Hey, here's a thought: Isn't carbon neutrality the end all of the climate change debate? A backyard fire pit is burning recently grown trees that have sequestered carbon and is releasing it back into the atmosphere - carbon neutral.

Pretty soon we will be told that baking bread is going to be bad for the environment also. We've got to stop this cultish environmental madness. Just the fact that the folks from the EPA even care about the backyard fire demonstrates radical and fanatical environmentalism. The EPA and these "Scientists" have become the modern day high priests creating sin and penance taxes to line the coffers of their politician masters.
