Weekend Poll: A whopping 158 of 182 respondents (86.81%) don't trust the Idaho Legislature to handle ethics problems involving legislators. Only 18 of 182 respondents (9.89%) said they would trust the Legislature to deal with its own problem members. 6 of 182 (3.3%) were undecided.
Today's Poll: Is it right for pro-wolf organizers of a wolf vigil in Coeur d'Alene today to refer to 337 killed wolves in Idaho/Montana as “fallen”?
Whatever makes them happy. “Fallen,” “destroyed,” “killed,” “euthanized,” “meeting their match,” “meeting their maker,” “toasted,” “whacked,” “expired,” “belly-up,” “kicked off,” “teed off,” “crossed the Rubicon,” “crossed the Styx,” “met Charon,” “entered Valhalla.” Doesn’t matter to me what euphemism is used. The wolves are dead, and I’m OK with that.

Not me love. We are all here together, but of course the humans make all the rules, and the animals pay the price.
