John,



Good post. I agree the personal insults are pointless, and

they will be even more pointless if none of us are allowed to

own herps anyway.



Regarding a united voice, I agree with that also, but I think progress will only be made if every individual does what you are doing, and that is everything they can. Seems like too many people think sending a check to a trade/local organization is all they need to do. I hope that's the case, but I doubt it. EVERYONE needs to write their Congressmen, aggressively help educate the public, write a Newspaper editorial, etc. This is

a David vs. Goliath battle, we at least need to give ourselves a slingshot!



Thanks,

Ed









>>Guys,

>>Please tone it down. You're not doing your cause or yourselves any good.

>>Swapping personal insults does our cause NO good. Makes us look like a bunch of unreasonable fanatics. Besides, the name calling is off topic. Leave that talk on some other forum.

>>Try to find some common ground. I'm sure both sides have merit. Actually, I know they do.

>>All this fighting and fragmentation plays right into the opposition's hands. There are obviously many factions with a stake here. If we don't find some measure of compromise and common ground among ourselves, and speak with a united voice, we are sunk.

>>Lets clean it up and keep our focus on solutions, please.

>>I've been gone a while. Will have to read back to catch up.

>>Thanks for your time.
