A fairly intelligent guy that I do business with - the sole owner of a successful company - insisted that the state could have put in a sprinkler system to prevent the fires.
He even implied that the sprinkler system would cover the entire wilderness area - a statement that was so stupid I couldn't respond to it at all. I do a lot of business with this guy and I consider him a friend. He is not stupid, but somehow he has allowed stupid thoughts into his brain.
I came away from that conversation with a renewed concern about how easy it is in our society to spread outright nonsense to people who should know better. It's easy to believe that democracy is doomed when stupidity can so easily trump intelligence.
