    Obviously the thousands remark was tongue and cheek. However, fatal bear attacks happen a couple times a year on average. Candidly, I was shocked to read how many fatal black bear attacks there have been. I have had numerous black bear encounters as nave many others in ca and the vast majority of the time they spook and run away while the other time they just are curious and don’t seem to care. I have never seen one act even remotely aggressive.

    I read it on the internet, in the same article it talked about how wolves are killing more and more visitors to the North Rockies annually and it also shed light on how aptly named Cutthroat are, people don't realize just how dangerous those little critters are.

    Our Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says we need to arm teachers because of the proliferation of grizzly bear attacks in schools.

    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy new fly fishing gear and that usually does the trick.

    That must happen only in private schools only, because she doesn't know squat about public schools.

    Well her boss says we need to stop diverting our rivers to the Pacific Ocean so we can use the water to put out wildfires, so "not knowing squat" seems to be pervasive.
