It is true of our entire society, I'm afraid. An epidemic/endemic mentality. Delegation of the thought process to authority. Big Brother will take care of us.

"The regulatory agency personnel come from academia and they tend to take knee jerk reactions to the management of herpetofauna." Yes, I've written about this many times. Suffice it to say it is an inbred mentality. Somewhat a closed loop of trained by and beholding to, philosophy.

A good example of this is when TP&W put the Grayband off limits with protected status (endangered/threatened) with absolutely no evidence to back this up. I believe in 1977 or somewhere abouts. I could be wrong on this, but I think Joe Lazslo and a few others had the regulations overturned. Maybe that's where the rumored old timer game wardens with a beef came from. They got shot down by science.
