Dang right it is.2.) benefits an interesting term, but Italy actually has a pretty healthy for a place that's been settled and civilized for so long, native population of bears and wolves.  Even the Romans thought they had been hunted out, but the central mountain chain is so, for lack of a better term, impenetrable that they hid out there until modern times, when the reunification of Italy imposed classically-liberal property laws which killed the local community property based farming systems.  The population of those regions moved out and the bears and wolves have had some success moving into the newly depopulated regions.One more example of how capitalism can be bad for peasants, and good for...  ...wolves?Sorry, that's really tangential, but that area of the world is something my father studies so I've sort of sucked in with growing up.</blockquote>
