Should fireplace fires be banned?
Under the auspices of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, "public
hearings" are being held to determine the fate of the family hearth.
For urban Californians I guess the family hearth has no value anymore because the traditional family (as sociologists like to call us) is dying. At least it appears so on the left coast. Now even children are a menace to mother earth and her knighted protectors. This is known as the 'save the earth by saving a tree, thus not using diapers because you killed the baby' method.
Ergo, no need for that messy old hearth thing.
