As we head into the next billion in the earth's population, you should check out Andrew Revkin's NYTimes blog, <a href="http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/" rel="nofollow">Dot Earth.</a> He does a good job at starting discussions on these topics. By the way, I did not write this post. Cathy Shill did. Thanks! Jay J:

Thanks for your comment. All these ARE touchy issues. As we head into the next billion in the earth’s population, you should check out Andrew Revkin’s NYTimes blog, Dot Earth.

The inconsistency of bison and elk mangement is a great example and so many of the anti-wolf folks are rady for a shooting spree!! IF the population of the world, Wyoming, the Tetons and so forth continues to grow with Humans - the only thing we'll see is MORE conflicts and they will get more violent! Why is no one, especially the Presidential Candidates, discussing this very touchy issue? Cowardice is the only thing I can see - tough decisions, takes tough leadership and I don't see ANY of that in any of these Politico's!! The Carrying Capacity of this land has been exceded and we need to REDUCE the Supplus pop. if we are to have any sustainabilty for the next 10,000 yrs.!! On the PLUS side - it is time to Enjoy the transition to Spring/Summer; be careful of the chnages (thin ice, wet slides, ect.) and Change with the seasons!! accept the fact that this has been and is going to be a TOUGH winter to... CHange!! ENJOY everyone!!
