First and foremost, there should be proof of a problem before making a law to confront it, not proof of a lack of the problem. This should hold true for any government agency, not on the citizens that would be affected. My problem with the OP's suggestion is not that it wouldn't work in this case but what about in the future when laws are drafted that can't be easily proven false? The whole god debate comes to mind..." prove he exists!", " you prove he doesn't!"



Even though i don't think we SHOULD need to do anything about something so obviously unfounded, i do think it would help us.

I know there has to have been studies done on southern burm populations as well as the studies the usgs people looked at for their data, someone should really find those. There should also be more than enough very scientific and properly collected data from burm keepers and researchers. There is no reason for a lab or any thing like that, its not like we need to sequence dna, run blood work, or do any genetic engineering lol. But a large library of scientific and anecdotal data could only help our case. Maybe it could even be online, we really do need a very nice comprehensive database containing papers,statistics,care info, everything. =p We could name it geekysnake.com
