>>If something can only survive in a tiny pocket it can't be called invasive. What all of this boils down to is the way the media portrays it all. All we have been asking for is the truth. I don't think we will ever see that. The burms really aren't hurting anything, but you will never hear that on the news.

I agree with you, my point is that there are a lot of people/organizations on "our side" that believe there IS a problem, and/or they support"solutions" like python hunts and bounties. Yet many of them also (correctly) criticize the crap science behind it all. To me, that seems very inconsistent. Maybe it's good strategy for us to be politically correct, but I'm not sure agreeing with the junk scientists is a good strategy either.
