Do you think Governor Arnold should have flown back because of the fire?

[nevadamedic]

I think he should have flown back as soon as he heard it went out of control insteading of putting this on the Lt. Governor. If I were the Gov. of California and I were out of state or the country, the minute I herd that there was a fire out of control I would be on my way back immediatly. There is no reason he isn't there. He could be doing more good then over talking to Tony Blair. When we had the major waterfall fire in Carson a couple years back the Governor and first lady were working at the evacuation center. I would be pissed if I were a resident and voter in California.

The Governor is responsible for more things than just fire...

His most important responsibility is when a National Emergency is declared in his state.

why would a "national" emergency be declared in just his state?

and i don't recall seeing a state of emergency issued. also, why have a lt. governor if you insist on not using him? I am sure at this point Arnie can get things done just fine.

I would not have left Wimbledon just because of a brush fire.

Why would you think I have something against clean air, Mr. Red Herring?

Because you're anti CARB, which is an organization that makes regulations to ensure clean air.

unless he was gonna don fireman garb and go out there to fight the fire, then no. you can make decisions just as well over phone or rely on your Lt. Gov. no if a shit load of ppl were being killed by this, then yes come back.

Wimbledon is more important

That's a fallacy. If you want to argue Clean Air - start a new thread. If you want to Argue the benefits vs. Oppression of CARB, that's another thread. Don't pretend 'if you're anti-CARB, you are anti-clean air.'

A "fallacy." That's a little dramatic isn't it?

Who brought CARB into this conversation in the first place, again?

Who tried to red-herring my comment and draw me into a debate about clean air, when my point was against the CARB organization - implying CARB is MUCH more dangerous to California than a wild-fire?
