Jaykis,
I understand your "no confidence" position but you are selling us short and America short. The ban against gay marriage was thought to never pass. Four states now allow it. Momentum is building for more states. The legalization of medical marijuana is growing. New Mexico passed it last year. This was unheard of not to long ago. We still have our guns despite the banning agenda of left wing anti-gun activists.
Also, I might add, its nice to see how you have "no confidence" in us but lots of confidence in them. I understand this based on past participation by the herp industry in protecting itself but couldn't we be under going a paradigm shift? Oby estimated that about 3000 herpers responded to HR 669. That is sad compared to all who keep herps but it is more then have participated before. If USARK can continue to build on this we can continue to make progress. We are already banned from keeping certain species and conducting certain activities as it stands now. Ask Georgians' if they can keep corn snakes. And if bans are passed I will certainly not give up and I will try to get them over turned. We can not compromise our principles nor our rights. We may lose some battles but we will not lose the war. We, also, have the Constitution backing us.
What is right is right and what is fair is fair. Radical and unrealistic agendas are always, eventually, defeated. Common sense usually prevails in the end.
