Paul,

I couldn't care less if you read my posts or not. I'm posting all this for a reason, and if I say something stupid, that comes along with the cause. I've already provided evidence to support the hurricane release theory, along with friggin' common sense to back it up.

For anyone interested, some good articles on the subject
can be foun at:

So Paul, what have YOU done to fight the JUNK, GARBAGE science being spewed by the *corrupt* government scientists? This is not a trivial thing, it's an egregious abuse of power by someone entrusted by "we the people." I will not apologize for trying to spread the word on corrupt government scientists who publish nonsense to cause mass hysteria to an unaware public. I will not
apologize for attacking CORRUPT GOVERNMENT SCIENTISTS claiming Burmese Pythons can establish wild populations in Delaware.
What have you done, Paul? You are a scientist. Above all others, you should be leading the charge against garbage science.
If you've done nothing, then you are part of the problem, and you will be partly responsible when the government outlaws your rainbow boas and the rest of our pets.

Thanks,
Ed

>>Hey Ed,
>>I'm not sure what evidence would be out there to support the idea of intentional releases outside of surveillance footage of 'joe-six pack' popping open the trunk of his Dodge Dart and dragging out his unwanted burm. To dismiss intentional releases as a major cause of the problem because of lack of evidence (this really would be difficult to come by versus a blown out facility from a hurricane, easy to hang our hats on that) is somewhat self-serving (in this case supporting your argument).
>>We also need to lose the 'joe-six pack' image of an intentional releaser. More realistically it is the haggard husband whose kids nagged him into getting the 'cute-little snake' and two years latter whose wife is looking at him with that look only us married folk know and she's saying; "JUST-GET-RID-OF-IT". This is the person driving the very short distance and dropping off the snake.
>>Me, I have no idea of what caused the problem and the extent of it. But it is a problem like many other invasive species. Don't know the answer. However, I'm starting to not want to read your post anymore because of the constant reference to 'government scientists'. Though I'm just a tech, it bothers me. The shame is, you write intelligently and have a lot of good things to share. I and everyone else knows your feelings about the government scientists and the junk data they put out (I hope you think its just occasionally). I get it. For me I'll enjoy and envy your Indigo posts but I think I'll skip these threads from here on out.
>>Paul
