FACTS about Prince William County Government

It’s time.  I was going to wait until July 16 to put up a thread about budget woes of the county because I believe in working with facts rather than with rumor and gossip.  I will continue to wait.  However, a lot of people have something to say about this latest event which as I understand it, is a matter of under-budgeting.  You know, one of those nasty little mathematical human error types of mistakes.  No one has stolen anything or tried to gip the taxpayers out of their hard earned dollars.

There is a certain contingency in the county who want to fry various county employees and supervisors.  There is another contingency who hate a witch hunt and who want facts.  This is a spot for facts about the county and how you want it governed.

Please, send us you FACTS.

19 hotshot firefighters perish in Arizona wildfire

MoonHowler

What a horrible way to die. I can’t imagine anything worse. The nation is sadden by the loss of these brave souls, doing what ordinary Americans probably can’t do. Let’s talk about wildfires, range fires, and forest fires.

I have been up close and personal with them twice in my life, both times in Utah. The first time was terrifying. I had never seen a range fire. No one is really sure how some of these fires start. Lightening strikes are blamed for many of them. I saw one start. I never saw lightening at all. It was sunny. I just saw an evergreen tree spontaneously combust. I have never seen anything like it before or since.

There is a strong argument made that if a wildfire isn’t endangering populations or homes, then just let it burn. Some scientists think it is all a part of  the cycle of nature. Some evergreens need fire to reproduce.

Then there are those who want all forest/wildfires put out.  Extinguishing a fire means there is no chance for the fire to run away and spread to population areas.  Wildlife is saved.  The environment is saved.  Putting out fires sometimes extinguishes human life.  There is a cost to preserve nature.  Such was the case over the weekend when 19 Arizona firefighters lost their lives.  Not since 9/11 have this many firefighters lost their lives in a single incident.   RIP

Palin prattles and pontificates and threatens the GOP

Video disabled because it wouldn’t behave.

It was about Sarah Palin threatening the GOP to go third party.  Duh!!!  Another zero brainer from Palin.

 

Sorry for the annoying auto-start.  If anyone finds this video without auto-start please copy the code and leave it for me.

Sarah Palin prattles and pontificates and threatens the GOP. Who is she kidding? I guess next the Freedom Party will run for president and win.

Yea, Sarah, in your dreams.

As for freedom from the government…wait until the next big earthquake hits your state and see who hollers uncle.
