Landpoke's no democrat -- he's an autocrat.

Were we talking exclusively about the wolf recovery program? Apart from the title of the thread, it seems not. I am not familiar with the details of the program, but I am familiar wiht the ferderal government's willingness to dictate to westerners what should be done with their lands. I concur that some compromises are necessary, but I think locals should have a signficant say and to suggest that ranchers all desecrate the land by the nature of their enterprise (as I perceive you have done, admitting I have only skimmed your posts) is, likewise, pure tripe. Maybe the wolf should be introduced. Maybe this will be good in the long run. Maybe the intruoduction needs ot be more moderate. Either way, I prefer that the locals have the most say in the administration of the plan. That's all.
Btw, there are mnay posts showing how ignorant I am, so you should probabyl try a little harder to insult me.
