Walloping Washington Wolves, by Jim Beers, posted to KBC 11/19/12. "...it is tough, especially in these states where the urban majorities and state bureaucracies are more and more used to imposing harmful conditions on rural minorities. There aren’t any quick and easy answers here because everyone (like Germans in the 1930’s) has been hiding in the hope that things would soon get better, only they have only gotten worse."

doing enough to take on the predator
problem."
