I wouldn’t have believed if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes:
Not even Orwell would have thought something like this. To be honest I think it’s rude to do this without the other person’s consent, but personally I would like to be able to keep track of what I edit.

First of all I must say that I don’t have anything against firefighters, in fact I admire their courage and think they are of major importance in our society.
This morning I was watching the news and they were talking about this big fire going on in some Portuguese forest and I wondered: do those tiny little men (compared with the gigantic size of the fire) really make any difference? I suppose air support can help a lot, but I’d be really amazed if ground firefighters really do a difference (i’m talking about huge forest fires not the casual building burning).
I mean, in the past there were no firefighters but still forest survived to our days so I guess fires would eventually stop by themselves. Or are firestarters the real problem now?
Well, I don’t understand a thing about fires, just my usual random thoughts, nothing to see here, move along …
There’s nothing really incredible in this article but I loved this quote.
