There’s a story in the local paper. It’s a few paragraphs long, but it can be summarized as thus:
Wolf populations are on the rise in WI. Wolves are eating deer. Hunters shot less deer.
The logical conclusion?
Wolf hunts.

It’s….you see….deer….wolves….hunters are….
I can’t even really begin to address this. But it’s made my head hurt so very very very very very much today.
I actually found that story while looking in to this one: http://www.jsonline.com/business/90405254.html
Not in that paper, but that’s the online version that had the story I was looking for. The comments in that story frighten me tremendously. From comment 1, it’s intensely political, completely lacking in context, and vitrolic rhetoric. It’s not until the “Hey, I work there, here’s the facts” that it settles down.
People just worry me, all over.
