The Overbearing EPA

I'll stop burning wood when they ban fire and 55 gallon steel drums.


I do find it very interesting that this is happening at a time when more and more people are having to augment or completely heat with wood due to costs of electricity, propane/natural gas, and heating oil being so expensive combined with so many being out of work or having significantly reduced incomes.

In thinking about this, is this related to Obama Burn(ing) Down the Suburbs?

Is this part of an effort to push people out of rural and suburban areas to better corral and control them? Sure seems that way to me. More nudging.

While the goals may be the same, I frankly just believe it strikes at independence. If an individual can heat his house without employing people who pay taxes to generate and bring the fuel, then there is no way to control them. Any time a product or service is found, produced, harvested or consumed, the government wants a piece of it. Everything. Hell, they're taxing the air now, it's just a formality to start assessing personal carbon taxes for breathing.

If the end goal turns Suburbia back into the wilderness that ecolibs masturbate about, so much the better.
