Environmentalism Kills People.

Fined for illegal clearing, family now feel vindicated

But seven years after the Sheahans bulldozed trees to make a fire break — an act that got them dragged before a magistrate and penalised — they feel vindicated. Their house is one of the few in Reedy Creek, Victoria, still standing.

Anger at government policies stopping residents from cutting down trees and clearing scrub to protect their properties is already apparent. "We've lost two people in my family because you ********* won't cut trees down," Warwick Spooner told Nillumbik Mayor Bo Bendtsen at a meeting on Tuesday night

'Tis a tragedy...he lost two Subarus....



"We prayed and we worked bloody hard. Our house was lit up eight times by the fire as the front passed," Mr Sheahan said. "The elements off our TV antenna melted. We lost a Land Rover, two Subarus, a truck and trailer and two sheds."

Idea,

Plant several trees around the houses of anyone who approved that legislation... then light those trees on fire.

There needs to be a balance between safety and environmentalism.

Both are good but one is definitely more important than the other.

I vote to change the title of this thread to "TOO MUCH Environmentalism Can Kill People."

Why not just light those trees on fire? Put them out in a controlled fashion and then cut the burned down tree down.

The title of this thread is alarmist and misleading. The truth is that superfluous legislation and litigation killed them.

I'm not sure what homosexuality has to do with this, but you've missed my point: there would have been no problem if the government was not in a position to control property.

Smokestacks are generally the purview of businesses... I should have specified property owned by a private citizen, but I kind of thought that was implied by the context of the discussion.
