"Just a question. Is it any wonder that the the most liberal state in the Union [California] has the HIGHEST percentage of Forest fires??? Just coincidence???"
Just as question - on behalf of my Americentric friend here - Yuuko 'There is no such thing as Coincidence in this world. There is only Hitsuzen ('Inevitability')' Ichihara:
Despite what my friend here claims, the fact that my country - the UK - is infinitely more liberal, nay, secular than the US as a whole, yet it doesn't have naturally-ocurring fires anywhere, let alone our forests, thus it's percentage is 0%. Is that just Coincidence?

Yuuko the Dimensional Witch: 'No. It's because of one of two factors (check one):
[ ] The UK is in a temperate part of the world, which results in extremely rare meteorological instances of heatwaves/dry spells long enough to create conditions for naturally-occurring fires to start in the first place. Because God favours the British (like my Anglo-Chinese wizard compatriot Clow Reed here), despite them being very secular, if not full-on Atheist, and therefore liberal.
[ ] Shit happens - especially geo-meteorology-wise - and God doesn't exist.
PROTIP: And in the manga "xxxHOLiC", Yuuko (above, l) and Clow Reed (r) created gods for various worlds.
