I'm pretty sure political bickering is well beyond the scope of the mailing list. Is anyone moderating this?
It certainly wasn't my intent or desire to have this turn political, and shame on the person who did. This is a serious networking related issue for California *right* *now*. It may become a serious networking related issue for a lot of other places too -- California is hardly unique in its wildland - urban interface issues, and lots of places burn just like California. And definitely lots of places have a 100+ years of fire suppression which is a policy thing, not a political thing.
The question is what are network operators going to do? If the answer is "nothing", don't be surprised to get legislation shoved down your throats. Don't expect the bay area of all places to passively put up with all of this. If your network fails because of power going out and I can't call 911, you've got a big, big problem.
