[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2534566, member: 3099"] I hear you. I think it was Lurker that was extremely close to some of the fires a year or two ago and was having to lay low in his own home because of an "ordered evacuation"? Something like that anyway. But the point is where does this even come from? What statute allows a public figure, mayor, sheriff, or whatever to order people out? And if there is a statute, in what universe is it constitutionally kosher? What we have is anyone whose very first reaction to whatever crisis is at hand that isn't looking to the government for protection, direction or permission to look after their own affairs in the most basic way is deemed as suspicious. Those of us that want to do it ourselves and don't wish settle for what we may or may not get in these sorts of crises are just nutcases and it pisses me the hell off too. [/QUOTE]
