The fires of 2007 were NOT started by a 10 yr old boy playing with matches..wrong fire, wrong cause. Malibu residents are still attempting to pursue justice against the four young men who are charged with starting the fire known as Corral Canyon Fire, these "men" were at a remote, closed and posted site known to be a party spot for raves and illegal activity. The fire was reported to have begun when a bonfire set by the punks was stoked and kicked out of the pit into the chaparral to ignite the surrounding bushes in extremely high windy conditions - a Red Flag day fully posted and noticed through every form of media. Rather than attempt to put out the beginning fire, or even to notify any authorities or sleeping residents in immediate danger - these punks ran like cowards and were only identified after an exhaustive investigation. They left a receipt at the cave, traced it back to the store and even got the video surveillance of them stealing the very firewood that they used to cause the havoc.
Again, cowards and punks, not an accident but malicious behavior and subsequent concealment and avoidance of responsibility.
Please be sure to get the facts straight, there are still a majority of homeowners that were burned out in that fire who are suffering great economic losses and in temporary housing. These are not the grand wealthy types of individuals, working folks who are struggling to pay the old mortgage while now paying rent as well.
And the party site isn't patrolled by the rangers, state agencies who hold title - it's up to the residents to protect themselves from future fires and illegal gatherings by drunk, drugged little wayward "adults" with minor brains.
As far as James Cameron is concerned, there is a little favorite label we have for those types of residents who simply hide in their cavernous cubicles....Limo Liberals. Their preferences for energy consumption renders them totally irrevelant in any conversation about the environment and conservation.
Now, let's talk about "The Edge" from U2 and his plans for his little personal fiefdom in the Malibu hills that would be so damaging to the environment, yet he publicly markets his plans as green building and environmentally superior with technological advancements. Hypocrites, lying fools, selling, selling, selling.
