Actress Jamie Lee Curtis has slammed the residents of southern California, blaming them for the wildfire disaster.
The Trading Places star is not among those directly affected by the tragedy, which has cost 1,430 families there homes so far, but she's shattered by the loss of lives and property.
And she has a tough message for her fellow southern Californians: "This is not an act of God!"
The angry actress fumes, "We live in southern California, we build houses where we shouldn't build them, we're living in the worst drought this country's ever had and we pretend that we're not and we water our lawns; talk about ultimate denial.
"We've done this, we've created all of this... This isn't an act of God, this is an act of man."

Way to go Jamie. Why the heck should we feel sorry for people who build homes on flood plaines, hurricane landing spots, and in the paths of wildfire? These people deserve to lose everything and they DON'T deserve any money from the Federal or State governments for being IDIOTS. Why should MY tax dollars go to an idiot that should have the sense not to build where he KNOWS his house is doomed???
They could do something about building codes, required more use of stone and concrete and slate roofs etc. Economy of scale would soon take care of the extra costs. Then there is the matter of brush.

Climb down from your soapbox, Jamie. They have been having wildfires, etc in CA for eons; man made or not.
You are definately not an environmental expert; therefore; please sit down and be quiet.
