This another quote from L. Ron Hubbard that is relevant to what has been going on. My last one was about how [commies are criminals](https://thedonald.win/p/11PWCZGPbg/on-communism-and-criminality). > California used to be cared for by the Indian*. And the Indian squaws* used to go out every autumn and burn all of the forests. And they’d start little low brush fires of all of the leaves and so forth. And they would sweep through there and they would never injure the trees or touch them particularly. And then all the grass and everything would grow back up again and the forests were all clean, you got no forest fires or anything. > And since they exterminated the ‘savage redskin,’ who has nothing to do with anything, you know, and had no part in the American economy, they have nothing but brush fires from Pasadena straight up to Santa Monica and beyond the north and beyond to the south and they lose thousands of this. And even a forestry man the other day started a six hundred and eighty-four thousand dollar fire that swept over the area for a long time. > They can’t control the fires. That’s because nobody controls the woods. There’s nobody doing anything about the woods. Nobody does anything about the growth. It just grows up into horrible secondary, it’s not planned, there’s no control over the area at all. But it was a controlled area which is not now controlled and is just giving everybody hell. See, it’s the watershed. Up in the mountains, if there isn’t brush in the mountains, they get floods in Los Angeles. And yet, there is no real forestry control of the area. It was cared for and isn’t cared for, now it’s trouble. L. Ron Hubbard Lecture of 23 November 1959 “Responsibility for Destruction," *Indian: reference to Native Americans. *squaws: a North American Indian woman or wife.
