just remember in the future that other individual freedoms are under assault by progressive socialists, many of them we may not understand, agree with or practice, but the ability for every American to "choose" what is right in their personal life is what is at stake. The anti-python bill is just one battle in the war, be it fast food, other pets, tobacco, guns, hunting, retirement investments etc, the progressive socialist feel that you are to stupid to make decisions as an individual, they would rather pass laws to change your behavior vs educate and provide incentives towards social change. The pattern is always the same, create a manufactured crisis (liberal amounts of junk science and collaborative reporting from the media), than provide their solution which always results in less individual freedom and more government control.

Sorry for the rant, by the way I think we need to send family snake pictures, i.e. the kids with a snake picture, to everyone in congress this year to show that pythons are in fact valued "pets", and that their is a human side of this story that really needs to be told. Take my kids python and ruin their Christmas.
