I never said to quit trying Manny. Stop with your drama. So what, your informed. Big deal. You take pics with the USARK people and a politician from Florida. So what. Where were you in 2005 when NY decided to make Burms, Rocks, Retics, Anacondas and some Monitors illegal? Where was Marc Rubio? Where was USARK as a matter of fact? Where? I wasnt even talking to or about you but since you brought it up, you absolutley are acting like the forum police here. Again, just a couple of posts ago, yet another person(someone who is known for his amazing line of fairly new high end boas and who has a SOLID reputation)came in here and said the same thing. And again, you attacked his opinion as well. This is what you do Manny. PM you? For what? Who I speak with and who I discuss these things with is none of your business. You have made it very clear that you dont agree with me and I really dont care. You should really consider the REALITY that not everyone sees things the way you do. It aint just me pal. You just plainly cannot admit that. Look, the way I see it, we are a very large group of people with a common interest. We come from all walks of life, we have had different life experiences, we live in different parts of the country and we will all see things in a different light. It is not the Manny way or the highway. Sorry about that but thats how it is. I'll say this one more time since you like to suggest otherwise. I fully support USARK and their efforts. I dont have access to the minutes from USARK's meetings or hearings nor was I present in any of the back room, under the table discussions or compromises that I'm sure took place. I'm pretty sure(and you'll correct if I'm wrong, LOL) that you were not privy to them either so you really have no idea how boas got through and burms didn't. You say we "lost" burms so we should just continue to press on. I say its possible, again Manny, POSSIBLE that Burms were "given" to them so we could keep other snakes, which I think is wrong. The next time, will we have to "give" them boas? If you dont think this is a possibility Manny, you really dont know about politics like you think you do. This is the nature of politics no? USARK is a lobbyst group correct? Deals will be made Manny. Thats how the machine works. Stop being so naive. Anyway Manny, stop bugging me about it. Just like no one is going to change your opinion, you will not change mine.
