"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
We’re From the Government and We’re Here to Help! – U.S. Forest Service Edition
Submitted by KenK on Fri, 2016-11-18 01:00
Forest Service declines to put out small wildfire in Colorado’s Wet Mountains, a remote national forest, opting instead to allow for a controlled burn, but instead of burning out, the fire takes off, and burns private property. Can the ranch owner sue? Nope. It’s not for us to second-guess officials’ judgments, says the 10th U.S. Court of Appeals. How can government courts judge fairly in a case where the defendant is another branch of the same entity?
