The Palestinian-Israeli situation is still going in circles, getting nowhere, as this article points out. There isn't anything too groundbreaking about the content or writing of this piece, but it does point out a new difficulty. After years of both sides refusing concessions, they finally budged a bit. However, the budging seems to be half-assed, just to say that they've done something, and so it takes them back to square one. In any case, it's an update, if one can even call it that.

This is an interesting article about people getting back in touch with their hunter-roots. I suppose a combination of factors propelled them into this, I don't want to call it a fad, but well, it seems like one.
The article is well written, as the author gives us numerous accounts of why, how, and where people decided to try their hand at dragging carcasses home and onto the table from a forest rather than their nearest Safeway. She talks about the environmental impact, the economic impact, the visceral feeling--the satisfaction--that accompanies the hunt. Get out your rifles and head to the forests y'all!
