Because when the feds screw up, do something hypocritical, and light a forest fire that blows up, burns 3000 acres, and forces the evacuation of several homes, the people don't say "I'm just glad they got us out in time" (a la hippie), they say stuff like:
"I'm mad as hell. Whatever expenses we accumulate is going to be paid by the Forest Service,"
and,
"If I had been up there and done that, I'd be in a squad car, going down the hill to the jail."
...
In other news, it's awfully smoky here today.
