More Hunters, More Dollars
Posted on March 13, 2011 | No CommentsMy wife and I subscribe to a Colorado-based news magazine called High Country News. Founded in 1970 (the year I was born) its coverage spans 11 western states and is the leading source for regional environmental news, analysis and commentary. High Country News describes itself... -
Alaska?
Posted on February 20, 2011 | 1 CommentThanks to the cult of idiocy mass appeal of Sarah Palin, Alaska has been put into the spotlight and is all over the TV and other media. Alaska is deserving of that, even without Palin, on size and natural grandeur alone, but the recent over-exposure has been... -
Negative Population Growth
Posted on January 16, 2011 | 4 CommentsHumans have been around for at least 200,000 years. For most of our existence, our species has maintained a sustainable population. Only in the last 200 years or so our fast-growing technology has made us lazy, and our much slower evolving wisdom has not been... -
A Word To Conservatives
Posted on January 4, 2011 | 5 CommentsIf you have any clue as to what has been going on in the wonderfully worthless world of American politics over the last many years, you know that both the Republican and Democratic parties no longer have any value and are not worth any of... -
When The Fate Of A Species And Human Over-Population Collide
Posted on September 10, 2010 | 2 Comments“As the wolf populations increase, the depredations increase and the number of wolf removals will increase.

The Reason For Laws, Restrictions, and Regulations
Posted on July 26, 2010 | 1 CommentIf it wasn’t for humanity’s horrible track record of living on this planet irresponsibly, with the consequences infringing on others freedoms, there would not be a need for laws, restrictions, and regulations. Some people have a naive, overly-optimistic faith in humanity. Don’t get me wrong,... -
Emblem Of An Asshole
Posted on May 27, 2010 | 1 CommentI saw a sticker very similar to this one on a guy’s big truck today. What does it mean when a member of the world’s most dangerous, premier predatory species (human) puts a decal like that on his vehicle, other than advertising what a huge... -
Of Wolves And Montanans
Posted on May 9, 2010 | No CommentsFor those of you who are distanced from or unaware of the struggles involved in the wolf-reintroduction idea unfolding in the mountain west, I assure you it is full of drama. For every triumph there is a tragedy. As environmental consciousness grows in our slow-to-enlighten... -
Letting Nature Run Its Course?
Posted on April 8, 2010 | 3 CommentsThis argument about letting nature run its course is silly. We ruined that concept long ago by disrupting the natural course of nature at every conceivable level. What exists today because of how we’ve handled our growing presence is far from natural. Thus, we should... -
Freedom To Breed Hypocrisy
Posted on March 24, 2010 | 2 CommentsThere is a misguided, immature element of our society today that puts human life at all costs against all other life in nature. It may be true that we have the intelligence and potential that other life forms lack, which we can use to further our...
