And calling everyone who has a different opinion on how society should be governed is a "toddler" apparently.

It's funny because fires have been started by people during the ban... so what has the ban accomplished in terms of actually preventing fires?

People who are the problem and starting fires will ignore the ban while responsible people who want to enjoy nature or walk home through the park are the ones punished.

And why are they trying to politicize this so hard and make this a left/right issue? It's absolutely not.

Banning fires? Of course. Banning smoking and motor vehicles on trails and in woods? Absolutely. But walking through a park deserves a $25,000 fine? That is life ruining to some people and for what? For HIKING?? It's crazy to me how widespread the support is for this and how much people are jumping on the government bandwagon. And to disagree with fining hikers you are an evil conservative fascist now? Give me a fucking break.

Yes, its dry as shit out there but to punish people who don't drive, smoke, or have fires doesn't make sense in my opinion and the mob mentality about this is so weird.

So someone can drive their car (the number one contributor to climate change) through the forest while ashing a cigarette out their window, corporations get to pollute and destroy the entirety of all ecosystems but a person walking through a park or by a lake is the real problem and must be punished...
