Yes it’s good. Yes you should go read it. Of course I wish I’d wrote it.

Myself? I consider myself a sheepdog in training as well. I’ve never had to hurt a wolf, but I figure that barking and growling at shadows for the past 21 years has earned me my kibble and has perhaps tricked one or two wolves from coming near the spot I was watching.

Bill takes himself to task a bit at one point for falling into “one big jerk-off chickenhawk fantasy” and I don’t fault him for that at all. I prefer to hang out with people who fantasize about putting themselves in harm’s way for the good of others. People who fantasize about being a wolf creep me out.

Yeah, I know that’s not going to make sense until you read Whittle’s piece. Go already.
