  Requiem For A Tree (Fires In Greece)

  150.000 square meters turned into ashes in only 4 days. Areas of thick forests, some illegal houses in between and some hundreds of houses in populated areas. All these some kilometers north of Athens. People saw their lives labors being destroyed in a matter of minutes, as these fires are the worst in the last 20 years. High velocity winds in addition to the high temperatures make the extinguish of the the fire next to impossible. Arson? Human mistake? Land hungry businessmen? We wont know for at least some time.
  
  But i blame the government. Our beloved government that is there in our every day lives. To squeeze us out of our every last breath. They are still incompetent to help putting out the fires. They stay put, as if they boggled, just trying to justify their lack of action. I read in the paper today that the limited resources are an outcome of an economy policy! Lets see now..
  
  1) Air patrols above high danger areas were cut even though some airplane clubs made their planes available as long as the government paid for the fuel.
  2)The new orders to the fire department are that when a fire starts first they use the ground units. If they can't control it then the airplanes and helicopters fly to the rescue.
  3)3.000 open spaces in the fire department were not occupied. We got the proper equipment but we got not enough personnel to use it.
  4)For nine years now military helicopters are not used in fire fighting, because the salt water corrodes their engines, making them unable for their tasks, some of which are to transport generals, ministers and priests around the country.
  
  All those in the name of economy! When they steal people's money they don't care about economy. People are tired of politicians and their false hopes they give to the people. Other than smoke, I smell riots again. This is way too much, and people are enough of it. I hope it doesn't rain at all in September, because major floods will occur, with all that forest being burned to ashes. I hope they salvage a tree from all those that burn. So that they can go and hang themselves.
