"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch, and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need to seize the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
This applies to so many things in our country right now, even hots if you think about the bad press, old and new, that has been in the news over the past year. Tigers, snakes, etc...

Where will it end? Are we to go along with this forever? Can we find a spokesperson with the juice to help us? Our hobby is on borrowed time IMO, has anyone noticed that most of the larger petstore chains no longer carry snakes? They dont sell feeder mice either, its deemed cruel by the shareholders here in CA. and they dont/wont sell you a rodent if they know you will be serving it up to a snake for food. Interesting eh...

I'll let you in on a little secret. Freedom oriented herpers and other freedom oriented peoples may be a very small minority, BUT THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENSLAVE US ARE AN EVEN SMALLER ONE.

All one has to do is compare the attendance each year at gun shows,
ultralight aircraft shows and HERP SHOWS (including hot shows) to the attendance at meetings like Bilderburg, Trilateral Commission,
Council on Foreign Relations, Bohemian Grove and other elitist exclusive enslaver clubs and you would see that freedom lovers command the greater numbers over the enslavers if open cofrontation should ever break out.

The vast majority of the people were, are and always have been SHEEPLE whose minds basically run on propaganda induced fear. MONORITIES have always desided weather a country was to become or remain free or be enslaved.
