Man vs. Wolfnew
A new fight now looms between wolf advocates, game managers, ranchers, conservationists and hunters: After nearly 50 years on the Endangered Species List, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service earlier this month proposed removing federal protections for gray wolves nationwide.
While thousands of Idaho hunters have stalked wolves over three recent seasons, just a few hundred have succeeded. Robert Roman has likely claimed more than any other hunter or trapper in the state.

What Is Racism? Why Meanings Matter in Conversations About Racenew
Generally speaking, semantics of race falls into two categories. Those who wish that conversation about it cease, arguing that "all that is behind us," tend to define various forms of prejudice, bigotry and racism as the exact same thing—usually followed by arguing that "everyone does it" as a way to end the effort at dialogue. This may or may not be done on purpose.
