There's good pickin's out there this morning.

Even the NY Times now acknowledges that goody-goody, elitist environmental & animal rights whacko-ism has backfired:

"The War Against the Fur Trade Backfires, Endangering a Way of Life [AND the environment!]"

Seems the Native Canadian Inuit tribes can no longer make a living trapping fur so they've turned to oil & gas development in formerly pristine wildernesses.


Oh, those unintended consequences.

Well, let's all help them out by buying new fur coats and turning up the heat.
