I Hey arsonist! Need a lighter?
by
JUSTIN AMBRIGHT
The Phoenix mountains preserve arsonist is getting a lot of stuff from
the media lately. In a column featured in the ultra-cooservarive Arizona
Republic, the writer went so far as to attack the arsonist as a' loser with
matches.'
Editorials and feature columns about the blazes suggest envy as the
arsonist's true motivation.
The New Times, a more liberal "alternative" newspaper, is supplying the
only true objective point-ofview on the story.
I say burn it all: I've got a Zippo lighter. .. (an item with) a little
more class than the 'loser with matches' if it's prestige the media wants.
I agree with the arsonist. Urban sprawl in the Valley is completely
ridiculous.
The city's founding fathers saw a sprawling, lush desert Valley and
decided to pave it, and true to America's Manifest Destiny, go west, young
man, and kill everything that gets in your way.
But why stop at McDowell and Phoenix Mountain preserves? Bum it all.
Torch Ahwatukee while you're at it.
Bum the developments in Surprise and El Mirage.
Take Sun City out. No one seems to care about the Ground Squirrels,
Gila Monsters, lizards and snakes that have made these new developments their
homes for centuries before we got here.
The zoo can only hold so many animals.
I've read articles about this arsonist/s and I respect the person or
persons responsible.
I don't care if some yuppie doctor or computer geek gets to look at the
base of a mountain every moining while stumbling through his ridiculously
over-priced dwelling,
as he gets ready for work in the morning.
If they love the mountains that much, why do they want to pave it?
These hypocrites that are moving to the mountains on the weekends are
pockmarks on the teenage face of the .mountains, so what's wrong with a
little Oxy-10?
The police are stumped as to who is responsible for the blazes.
Good.
If they ever do catch the party or parties involved, I hope they are
acquitted.
We should have a holiday.
Let the kids out of school for the day.
I praise the Coalition to Save the Preserves and anyone else who is
willing to make a noticeable state~ent for whatever it is they believe ill.
Let me have my mountains. To the CSP and the firebugs. . .need a light?
