Joe,

I'm thinking of cooperation and partnering for the common good.

We all want to obey the law and do what we can to eliminate crime. That goes without saying. That's common ground right there.

As Texans, we all want what's best for the plants and animals, geology and artifacts, and all our natural treasures...to protect and to pass on our natural legacy. We are duty-bound. More common ground.

Let's think outside the box for a moment. Consider just these few functions the private sector might adopt to assist and partner with law enforcement -- deputizing in a limited fashion, volunteer fauna census/data collectors, auxiliary wildlife specialists, relocation/rehab persons.

Now consider the current technology available to aid and facilitate such a function -- IFF, GPS, Radio, Cell phone, digital cameras, Onstar, Lowjack devises, etc.

How about the courtesy of registering a flight plan (herping itinerary) with local authorities?

This is just a start. Just a few things that come to mind. Let's start the discussion.

Thanks for listening.

jsc
