Smokey the Bear

Do you remember Smokey the Bear? I do. “Only YOU can prevent forrest fires.” I tell ya, as a kid in the 80’s that really stuck with me. Like, every single forrest fire since, I’ve had to wrestle with it. How is this my fault? What more could I be doing? Why couldn’t I prevent it? My entire life since then I have had to live with the fact that Smokey chose ME, and I have failed him! I have failed ALL of you!
