on Global Trade in the Northwest
Do some exporting of wildfire fighting hand tools to Spain and Portugal. As global warming becomes a more important issue such as huge fires in Russia and Brazil. Trade deligations needs to bring samples of our made in Oregon tools to show them to these fire countries that are making big money these days and can afford our tools. Please have deligations on trade look at our web sites www.dragonslayers.com www.wildfiretools.com

on Fighting Fire
Homeowners, realize; global warming is real, future fires will be stronger; suppression will fail. Adapt into a fire adapted species; if living in fuels.
An option to revert to, when supression will fail. Position ground. Command critical site. Train-ready to execute an "ESCAPE FIRE" form "SAFETY HARBOR AREA".
"BLACK DONUT OF DEATH" a survival technique to parry extreme fire storms, make them pass, and do no harm. Agencies, & interface dwellers.
We see thousands of homes lost over and over again, this says: suppression forces know how to deal with easy fires. Current wisdom "Defensible Space" contributes to an increase in speed of a huge fire going up to and destroying homes with plenty of defensible space.
Defensible Space needs augmentation with three circular control lines around the critical site. Train society, when to revert to, Escape/survival method; before fire storm destroys critical site.
The Company "DRAGON SLAYERS INC. located in Nehalem, Or. Pioneered, developed this concept.
Last year in Victoria, Australia a fire storm swept through and killed 173 people, destroyed over 2,000 homes. These people were all following "Defensible Space" doctrines, and were set up with suppression tools. We tried to tell them, that this would fail. It did and stands as a clear warning of what we are headed toward.
Grass is the main killer of homes and people. It stands as the easiest fuel type to mitigate, yet the fire agency people cannot understand when to drop traditional suppression concepts, and revert to something that works.

on Guilty but Insane Due to PTSD
Nice try to use military service as an excuse for killing someone. Sorry, That does not work. No sympathy from this old war Marine. I was in a lot of close quarters combat during three years in Vietnam. It was even hand to hand combat, and in situations, where there was little or no hope that we would survive. Coming home was a nightmare and my wife ran off with another man the entire program.
There was at no time, a place where I could vent my rage. You must adapt and find some sort of meaning in the idea you did survive some terrible ordeals in war and in peace. You must somehow find a point where you must simply deal with the unfairness and loss, dissapointment, and go on.
Jesse is a murderer, he killed someone. Depression from war is no excuse to just go kill someone.
