      The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the rugged mountains of
Alaska for some sightseeing.  He was cruising along the campground in the
Pope Mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the
woods.  A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a 'Save the Whales'
hat and a 'To Hell with Bush' T-shirt, was screaming while struggling
frantically and thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a
10-foot grizzly.

      As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers came
racing up. One quickly fired a 44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other
two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the
bear's grasp. Then using long clubs, the three  loggers finished off the
bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other
tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.  As they prepared to
leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. 'I give you my blessing for your
brave actions!' he told them. 'I heard there  was a bitter hatred between
Republican loggers and Democratic environmental activists but now I've seen
with my own eyes that this is not true.'

      As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies 'Who was that
guy?'

      'It was the Pope,' another replied. 'He's in direct contact with
Heaven and has access to all wisdom.'

      "Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom
      but he doesn't know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait
      still alive, or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and get another
      one?"

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?

– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

Up in BC they have so many bears they're moving into houses.  The RMCP as killed 2 this week for breaking and entering, one in Coquitlum and the other in North Vancouver. 

Watch out Cindi, you might have unexpected company.  LOL

They don't necessarily have to have that many... they might just have a few that are starving anyway.  Starving bears will go to great lengths to get food.

Between the decline in salmon and the decline in honey bees (and the subsequent pollination effects), it wouldn't surprise me if it was fewer, but hungry bears.
