Fricking lunatics. This is really a sickness for some people at this point.





Beach bonfires may be banned

They fuel global warming, parks department says

By KERY MURAKAMI
P-I REPORTER

Even with the skies overcast and threatening rain, Khang Nguyen, 18, and Joel Juan, 19, kicked back after school at Alki Beach.

"It's just a relaxing way to hang out with friends," Nguyen said of the bonfire crackling in front of them one evening earlier this week.

But Seattle Parks and Recreation might do what even this week's chilly weather couldn't -- douse the long tradition of beach bonfires at Alki and at Golden Gardens.

Park department staff is recommending reducing bonfires at the two beaches this summer and possibly banning them altogether next year.

The park board will hear the recommendation Thursday, and the city plans to run public-service announcements and hand out brochures later this month about the effects of bonfires on global warming.

According to a memo to the park board from the staff released Thursday, "The overall policy question for the Board is whether it is good policy for Seattle Parks to continue public beach fires when the carbon ... emissions produced by thousands of beach fires per year contributes to global warming."
So does passing gas & lighting a scented candle.

Then later this year, the department would consider banning bonfires or requiring fees and permits to reduce the number of bonfires next year.
Ah, now we're getting somewhere.

I have campfires all summer long, if one of those Green Mother F-ckers steps in my yard and says something about my smoke I'll burn his rotten bowels out, I think Ill burn my garage down on the 4th of July.
