I have allot of friends and aquatances in this Hobby and I will tell you what I am hearing from some and I have often felt the same way. Without going into a long and rediculous spill, I am the first one in line to feel angry when I wake up every day and see that the government has once again " chipped something else as far as my rights away from me. " However, it seems that even though we may convince our little sheep minds that we have a voice and can stop them, we still usually stand as too little too late and they usually already have their minds made up from the beginning and nothing we say as a minority is going to change it, even though they try to make us feel like we indeed have a voice and stand a chance. So, why are more not contributing to the cause? Is it because they do not care? Is it because they love the vaseline sensation, brought to us by our government? Is it because they are too busy going through the Fast Food Drive Thru and trying to get home in time to not miss the next episode of their favorite Reality T.V. Show and sit in front of the box of oblivion with drool running out of the corner of their mouths, while their pineal gland closes off even more to the point of not just being a sheep, but a Robot Sheep? Well, maybe a combination of all of those wonderful things and also the fact that many that I have talked too have wondered if all of these wonderful and heart felt responses that are being sent in to them, are just a way for them to refer to a list once the Law is put into order and know were to find us? If this goes through; " The Big Time Breeder " that is all over the internet and has websites and a huge facility in his back yard, " is up the creek from the beginning and they KNOW WHO YOU ARE. " However, they have no idea how to find all of the guys that have a dozen snakes that live here and there, but if they all send in their info, it will not be hard at that point to find them. This means every bit as much too the small time guy and gal as it does to the big timers. The big timers have more to loose, but they are already overexposed. The small time guy " wich represents the bigger part of this Hobby, WAY BIGGER " just wants to keep things under his hat and does not want any police raids at the trailer park, that is not of typical nature. This is a terrible thing,but in the end " the above mentioned things and FEAR FEAR FEAR and DIVISION DIVISION DIVISION, will seemingly always keep this country and the world from doing the right thing for our freedoms! " This may make some of you upset " that is not my intention and I have played nice around here for a long time now, " but if you search your hearts, you will find truth in this post. So, what is the answer? If we all search our hearts and educate ourselves too what is really going on, we know what the answer is, but it is one that I probably not post here, without it being erased. God, if I would have known as a young person the things I know now. That however, does not matter, but what we do NOW, matters more than ever...........John J
