Onto anotehr bone of contention. I do see a strange over-concern for the rich Mailbu hills burning juxtaposed to the lat big disaster: Katrina. American "News"-economics: rich Malibu ='s more concern than middle, working class and poor New Orleanians. Sucks fore everybody, but had it been New Orleans burning in 2005 the "concern" form the mainstream media would have been noticeably subdued, as evidenced by converage of the Katrina. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071026/media_nm/californa_wildfires_apology_dc;_ylt=AmYLyt8K22ekdEVE7rEOlZRxFb8C
