Makes me think of Pinocchio and the boys vandalizing everything on Pleasure Island (thank you, Jordan Peterson, for making me appreciate this classic on new levels):
I find this believable. I was camping in California, and I was told not to burn the dead-wood by a park ranger. The dead wood was dry, and basically a tinder-box, so basically they were preventing the crowd-sourcing of controlled burn.
Idiots.
Rest well, good sir. Let these imbeciles sleep in the bed they made for themselves.
