Is San Francisco Right?

 

 

 

San Francisco. The Land of Fruits and Nuts. I generally dislike everything about their politics. A while back they created a stir when they outlawed fireplaces in new homes and wouldn't let people have wood fires. That seems totally un-American. Of course, living the country life where red meets neck causes one to have a different view on this new law from liberal land.

 

Imagine your neighbors fireplace looking like this. Now imagine 6 homes in a 1/4 mile radius heating with wood that look just the same. 

 

 

 

 The result is a period of time from October through March that looks like this on occasion. Very rustic. Rush hour in Manhattan has nothing on rural Kentucky.

 

 

I know, wood heat really shouldn't look like this. This isn't the fault of wood heat. It's caused by the fact that the average hillbilly is too stupid to burn wood without making a nuisance of themselves, but that pretty much goes for everything they do. The question is, what do you do when people are this stupid? San Francisco might be on to something. Personally, I'd rather outlaw stupid, but judging by prime time TV, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
