>>All you have to do is look at the financial crisis this country is in to realize that anyone involved in our govt. is not very good with numbers.

I guess it's getting harder to fudge things now that mother nature exposed the truth. I'm still trying to figure out how someone who knows at least 9 of 10 monitored pythons died (I say "at least" because the circumstances of the surviving python were not divulged) and that NO pythons were found during the latest hunt could at the same time say only 50% (or only "up to 50%", depending on the article) of the pythons died.

Why are these gov't officials not held to any standards? At the very least they should be challenged to provide evidence to back up their claims, that's just basic common sense. Can you imagine if the FDA (or other areas of scientific study) enforced such poor standards?? We'd be back in the stone age.
