Update:
You can listen to the friendly Idaho Governor here at Defenders

From Idaho Fish and Game website :

When feasible and legal, the state would propose hunting wolves to provide opportunity for harvest of wolves, as well as to reduce problems with livestock and to maintain a balance between wolves and their prey.

Please allow me to draw your attention to the phrase “harvest of wolves”…

From The Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife ( supported by King’s big business in Killing ) :

SFW continues to use politics as a tool to protect our hunting and fishing heritage in Idaho. With full-time staff in place Idaho SFW members will have their united voices shaping the policies and legislation used to manage our treasured wildlife resource.

From In Defense of Animals :
“the native species conservationists worked so hard to reintroduce and protect will likely be stalked and killed soon by an even more aggressive predator — man.”

So basically as i see it, the human predators at the Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, are dancing on thin ice above hypocritical waters… (if they aren’t already swimming proudly)… They admit (boldly and proudly) that they are “using politics”… They portray that they are supported by big business (Kings) who OF COURSE stands to gain plenty from permission to kill these precious native species.

Are we really so civilized? Do we have no capacity to create peaceful pathways of co-existence? Do you personally respect life? Does that wolf have less right to exist than you? Is it threatening your ability to survive?

What are the reasons to destroy these animals? To take their last breath from a long distance without any fair fight? Is it wise to encourage men to use their intelligence to kill? When will we decide that the power rush is just not worth it? When?

As best as i can gather from my distant investigation, The primary motivating factors for killing all but 100 wolves in Idaho are as follows:
1. Sport (I suppose people have the right to entertain themselves as they wish and suffer the karmic consequences duly)
2. Protecting Human Lives (Have there been any injuries or deaths?)
3. Protecting livestock and other domesticated animals (ranchers will be reimbursed for wolf-related deaths)
4. Economic profit (from sport, and “saved” livestock)

So what are the statistics? How many livestock have been killed? How many humans have been attacked? Who are the real “invaders”?

Crazy world we live in!

White man takes land from nature, driving the people away who actually know how to coexist and communicate with and respect the creatures of the land. Then we want to protect our “live stock” so we can kill them ourselves…

And yes, we call ourselves civilized.

:-D

WOW!

Recently I added a post to a debate about the movie the secret:
http://julianwalkeryoga.zaadz.com/blog/2007/1/the_secret_part_three_-_an_antidote#comment_73388
there is a LOT of context and alot of interesting words coming from julian’s premises and the surrounding action…

Fantastic to see such passion about such a silly movie.

Perhaps it has its utility after all….

(indeed, it has prompted some deep reflection in the individuals who engage in these exchanges)

Julian, your fundamentalist skepticism is quite fan(t)a(s)tic…
I hope that you will consider to agree that the premises put forth by the Secret are provacative… which is far more relevant than your OPINION about what is TRUE or UNtrue, right, wrong, or whateva.

I have not read the whole stream of comments, yet i cherish the comment by C4chaos: “and therein lies the rub”… i assume it is an allusion to Beckwith’s statement in the secret :: in my opinion a nearly universal disclaimer to all of the busy finger work on these pages… It is both the conscious and sub conscious thoughts that affect our “reality”… “thats the rub” (please forgive me if i am bringing back something that has been elsewhere hashed rehashed fultilized or otherwise addressed - i hope this formulation adds something tasty to the soup)

i imagine that this can be taken in many ways, and lead to many lines of thinking and behaving… including and most certainly not limited to:
– i judge myself because i don’t have control over my sub conscious thoughts and doubts and they are sabotaging my attempts at attracting what i WANT
– i feel there may be something causally significant embedded in that “rub” and i am motivated to more closely observe and steer both my conscious and subconscious thoughts (a significant goal of a vast majority of serious, relevant and valuable “spiritual” disciplines)

Perhaps a golden rule in spirituality: if someone puts something in your mouth and expects you to swallow without chewing a bit… spit and run….

and likewise: if one is foolish enough to swallow a consumer oriented inspirational doctrine, without chewing, perhaps one deserves the fate that follows…

I, like MANY many many others, was at one time bloody skeptical about horoscopes… how can that info be important for the 1/12 of the global population who has their birthday in the same month as me… hmmm… yeah right…

BUT! it gets pretty juicy when we start looking at the details…

And i can recommend a look at my good friend Adrian Duncan’s website:
http://world-of-wisdom.com/01_horoscopes/horoscopes.htm
The astrology voice recordings that he is generously giving away (on the left of the sunsigns page) are from our weekly chats… He talks alot more than i do, which is very good if you actually want to learn something about astrology, but not so good if you are wanting to hear my voice alot… ;-)
