The better question is how you made the leap that zoning is somehow a conservative thing.

I live in California, yet because I'm a conservative you portray me as somehow responsible for this.




Stupid has no party/political affiliation... stupid is just stupid.

Sprinklers can stop explosions? Who knew?

Yeah, the government is so good at preventing things like this. that's why government run levees in New Orleans held strong during Katrina. Obviously experts.


I bet if you ask engineering students at the top colleges in the country (the brightest of the bright, the real go-getters) what they wanna do upon graduation not one of them will say government inspector.

That's gonna be the campaign theme for Dems in 2016: Conservatives are anti-sprinkler. They are sprinkler deniers and want you to die in fires so they can get rich.

I want to be the g-string inspector at the state strip clubs. You know, regulations and all that.

The fire started with a battery or something electrical and spread.

Dude, all you need is a fist full of dollars (pun intended) and you can inspect all of the G-strings on stage.

Why not? It'll be the strongest platform they've had in years!

Republicans and their war on gays, women, illegals, and fire suppression!

You don't have to have a g-string in WV.

Those tanks responsible for the recent spill have not been inspected since 1991. They have been resistant to any regulation and polluters have not been punished.

Quote:
In 2009, an investigation by The New York Times found that
hundreds of workplaces in West Virginia had violated pollution laws without
paying fines. In interviews at the time, current and former West Virginia
Department of Environmental Protection employees said their enforcement efforts
had been undermined by bureaucratic disorganization; a departmental preference
to let polluters escape punishment if they promised to try harder; and a
revolving door of regulators who left for higher-paying jobs at the companies
they once policed.
