>>I swore to not get into debates anymore, but this is irresistable. I have heard through some inside sources that; " New York and North Carolina and some others, are just the start of what is slowly trying to go Nation wide as far as Reptile Bands. " To get to the point, safety as far as owning Big Burms and Retics and Anacondas along with Crocodillians and large Montors, is one motive. The main motive however, is MONEY! Once again, our greedy government is pissed about another productive business, that is done under the table and they are loosing alot of tax dollars and there is no way for them to really monitor what is being bought and sold in the market. I think that we can all agree that; " 90% of us have never paid in the first taxes on anything that we have sold. " It is not just the Reptile business, but all internet sales are being slowly scrutinized by our wonderful BIG BROTHER! I believe, that if we got together as a community and put our stupid differences aside, we could get with some people in legislation and make some changes that will make BIG BROTHER happy and also benefit most of us. I have come up with some ideas myself and plan on doing some talking with my state and local government on these issues. I need to go right now, but in the morning, I will post some of my ideas and you guys should try to put some stuff together and maybe discuss some possibilities. Until morning, you guys have a good one.......GOD BLESS.......Johnson Herp
