Who are you getting angry with? if it is what I said above, then diddums, I
was just feeling sorry for those who lost their homes or lives... I wouldn't
wish it to be me!
I can understand back burning, but it is very difficult when you have asthma
and trying to breathe, as a lot of back burning has been done in my area and
around.
But if it's possible your anger isn't towards what I said, then fine!
Don't be too mad with people who do care about the environment though,
without it we'll all be suffering some weird illness if not already! blah
blah blah blah...
