April, I have known you for a long time, from as far back as when we were both Cornsnake nuts. You should know that when I post up a response like the one I posted above, its not to offend anyone. I want to talk snakes more than anyone believe me, but to close your eyes and click your heels wishing this would all go away, isnt going to help anything. The reason everything seems geared towards politics is because this jam we are all in is PURELY politics and has EVERYTHING to do with party lines. Anyone who doesn't really believe that(not because of what I say but based on facts that are available to us all) is kidding themselves. Just by seeing everyones disappointment in their senators response tells me that MOST LIKELY, its the first time they have tried to contact their elected representative. In my mind, if it is the first time they have tried to contact their representative, MOST LIKELY they, like most Americans, never really pay attention to politics and probably only vote in major elections(if that). What does all this have to do with snakes? FOR THE MOST PART, politicians care about one thing and one thing only, losing their power. They could care less about snakes, they could care less about science and most of them could care less about Florida. Its all about more government. Again, classic liberal behavior. Now I'm not saying you should turn around and convert to a republican. Thats your choice as an American as it is mine. I am saying that LETS NOT CANDY COAT THIS THING ANYMORE. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I am simply trying to spread the TRUTH. This proposed bill was created by democrats and is being forwarded by mostly democrats. So the remedey is as simple as this, vote your local democrat out of office and bills like this will MOST LIKELY never pop up again. Is it too late for this bill you ask? Probably. But as USARK has stated, this is only the beginning. One last thing, when this thing got rolling, USARK came out and publically stated (I think its almost a quote) pure and simple, the democrats are against us and the republicans are with us. For me, there is nothing else to hear. Thanks for your ear.
