Jaykis,

I don’t agree with you that is true but my biggest problem with your post is that you manufactured what you thought I said. You sat there and read my post and then twisted it into something it was not. Actually you did more then twist it, you completely changed what I said into something different. Then you attacked me on the things you made up. You changed it to such a degree that it became quite obvious where you sit on the political fence. You spilled your own beans.

As for Bush he was the worst president of all time in my opinion and I didn’t vote for him either time. I also do not support his policy positions on most everything. The guy was an embarrassment if you ask me. So based on the assumption in your post you mistakenly thought I was a right winger huh? Well, wrong mister. I am a moderate that leans democratic. This again shows your stripes. You are so far left that I look like a right winger to you? That is pretty far left. You keep spilling your own beans.

This is all about politics. Politics is all over the herp industry like flies on do-do. And the left wing academics, AR groups and lefty hobbyists are a big part of the problem. Yes, there are problems on the right as well. It was a Republican that passed the road ban in Texas. And there are some “sportsmen” herpers that want to ban the sale of wild caught “because you can’t sell game animals you shouldn’t be allowed to sell herps.” It is all political. But both sides are wrong. Extremism never works, ever. We need to try and include as many people under the “bell shaped curve” as possible and exclude extreme views on both sides. That is my point in bringing up politics and the fact that you opened up the door by misconstruing my post and making false assumptions.

I do not support arbitrary regulations. I also don’t support unregulated either because I know there are those who only see dollar signs. My positions are fair to all stakeholders, they create jobs and most of all they sustain herps for the long term. I don’t see how any reasonable person could argue that my approach isn’t the way we should be heading.
