Mission statement:

NWLobos is a blog about wolf reintroduction in the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest.  While its primary purpose is as an information clearing house, it does not purport to be purely objective on the subject and instead, approaches the matter from a perspective that questions traditional American attitudes about land-use and entitlement in the west.  Since these issues are fraught, it's worth making clear that it is not my intention to ever treat anyone, or their opinions, with disrespect.  To the contrary, what's wanted and needed here is a civil discourse wherein thinking and intelligent adults can agree that other thinking and intelligent adults are perfectly capable of arriving at a different opinion without resort to moral obloquy or self-delusion.  Thanks for reading.  -James Morgan
