I've to support John on this one. I tried to sleep on that "cut"
grass. They shouldn't have cut it. They should have HARVESTED it. It
must have been knee high when they sent the tractors out, and they just
left it all clumped up. A Mazirati could have easily scooped up plenty
of that tinder into a catalytic converter "shield".

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
