Some are that stupid, some are just that desperate.
I've been rich, I've been poor. I think some aspects of being poor made me a better person. I appreciate what I have and also know how to do without if I should ever be so unfortunate again.

The warning most likely was aimed at 3rd world Orange County cities like:
Fill in the blank. 1. Santa Ana 2. 3. |

Darwinism at work. Hell, I say hand out a bunch of free charcoal grilles in some of those neighborhoods and let the problem solve itself. Parts of Garden Grove too. And Tustin. Bleah.

A mother and 2 girls were pulled out of a house semi conscious a week or so ago. Same deal, a fire or the stove, I don't remember. Lots of people out there can't pay their utility bills.

It's wonderful to know that our enlightened brains in the State Assembly have undertaken bills to ban fireplaces for home heating at this particular juncture in time...
Yes, I'm not making this up.

actually, salt lake valley has some of the worst air pollution in the country during the winter. look it up.
if you get a wood burning stove/insert with a catalytic converter or secondary burner, the exhaust may be cleaner (around here) than the outside air.

The Orange County Health Care Agency is interfering with Mr. Darwin.

I like it! I'll bet at Wallymart you can get those little Hibachi grills and a small bag of self lighting charcoal for next to nothing this time of year. Buy up $100 worth and stop at a street corner in some of those neighborhoods and just give them away. They couldn't charge you with a thing, could they?

I guess you left coast guys arent used to winter.
Poor folks die every year using their gas stove or oven for heat. I guess the flame goes out eventually ( gotta be a drafty joint) and the gas either sets off a nice explosion or the fumes get to 'em. Sad times, some people live in the right now. |

Yeah doesn't have enough tree's to support much wood burning. Most homes I know of around here use gas to heat. And might have a wood stove as a back up.
I'm with the "it all went wrong when we started to put child proof caps on the pill bottles so Darwin couldn't get the dumb ones early" crowd.
