I think it's a great idea... and I say that we just start cleaning with
the hope that he get fined. If they are actually fineing people for
cleaning up the forrest I was to get the fine in hand and go down to the
local news services and have then run a story about how you aren'y allowed
to clean up the forrest/desert. It's complete bull$#!t that they would
even try and do that.

Sounds to me like it's a case of people cleaning up the forrest and the
govt not being able to charge money anymore. LAME!
