UPDATE: It is SATIRE! Thanks Anthony. It has been a busy day, and I forgot to do some fact checking this evening.
Let hope this bit of liberal environmental stupidity is not true: California Wildfire Victims Face Fines
The Official News Agency reports:
"As the devastating fires of Southern California finally succumb to the heroic efforts of 8,000 firefighters, weary and broken survivors return to their homes to assess losses and rebuild if they can. They may have a nasty surprise waiting for them, though... millions in environmental fines.
California's Attorney General reportedly plans to collect millions of dollars from wildfire victims and effected counties in order to buy carbon credits, offsetting the damage the blaze caused to the environment.
Critics say that this is not the first time that Attorney General Jerry Brown of California, listed as Edmund G. Brown Jr. on the official website, has pushed his environmental agenda using his position as AG. Since taking office in January of 2008 Brown has prosecuted and sued his way to controversy over a number of 'earth-friendly' issues."
It was this quote from a Jerry Brown consultant that got me hot under the collar. What about you?
. . . says Kilmer. "This is exactly the right time to levy these fines. The average citizen cannot be trusted to do the responsible thing with a monetary windfall. We need to get this process underway before they get those insurance checks into their sooty little mitts."
What "monetary windfall", my god these people just lost all they own, now this liberal fool want to fine then for letting their house burn. This is typical of liberals, people cannot be trusted to make the best decision for themselves, but must rely on a liberal elite to make decisions for them. Are these the people we want making global warming policy in Sacramento?
I honestly hope this was an Onion style parody, just a Halloween joke!
