The injustice of man
There are times when I cannot help myself but to question the mentality of human authority. One of such said times is the recent fatal mauling of a seventy year old man while hiking in grizzly bear country on the outskirts of Yellowstone Park, resulting in the bear’s immediate execution.

 It is through my belief of common reason that the justice of man has no applicable jurisdiction over the state of nature. This particularly unfortunate bear had been previously tampered with by so called “bear officials” involving its entrapment and tranquilization. The ensuing events led these officials to believe that the perpetrator of the crime was the very same bear. The following forensic D.N.A. results proved validity to the prosecutions charge, resulting in the immediate execution of the guilty party. Yet, in mans presumed judgment, where was this bears trial, defense attorney and jury?

This barbaricaly archaic eye for an eye policy that man yet applies to the natural world is beyond my comprehension. It would appear, were humanity to possess the power, that he would even punish the skies for delivering the devastation of a tornado. The injustice of mans’ justice has no rightful position in the arena of natural order.  – Patrik Troiani,  Jackson

Correction
Last week in a news brief [“Dems name Herz acting chair,” June 16] JH Weekly incorrectly described the bylaws of the Wyoming Democratic Party.  The bylaws state that the vice chair must fill the duties of the chair’s absence if the chair should run for office, but do not require the chair to take an official leave of absence.
