Hmmmm,

What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander....
Indians and wolves --- both were nearly exterminated by our government.....

Now I hear it is time for the wolves to make their come back and retake their rightful place in nature and if it infringes on those living outside the populated areas, then well "too bad" because we are going to do the "right thing" and bring the past into the future without considering the full impact on the present situation, soooooo.....

When are we ALL going to dispose of our property (city houses, semi rural ranchettes, cabins, farms, ranches, industry, the whole bit), give the proceeds, if any, to the Indian Nations and move our butts back to Europe? The Indians used to have the whole damn thing and we unjustly took it from them. Lets bring the past into the future and never mind the impact on the present situation on this one too, after all fair is fair and right is right.

I'm guessing that might hit a little closer to home with its effects settling a little more evenly across the board for ALL of us instead of just the rural FEW, who are easily ignored and pushed aside by the urban/suburban majority any time they get a wild hair.

Parallel scenario, seems like if you are game for one, then it makes sense to be game for the other.

Just so there is no confusion, I'm not for allowing the wolves back and I'm not for giving the joint back to the Indians. I'm kind of fond of the current set up.... plenty of deer and elk and we're a Superpower and the envy of the world. Too much water under the bridge to give either one back on what I would consider a whim.

Of course, you understand, this is only my humble opinion and observation!
