Colin, I think that you give these politicians more credit then they are due. These Democrats just give knee jerk reactions to issues that grab headlines. They aren't going to invest their time in doing any research on this issue. The newspapers and National Public Radio and televised media love the evil Python drama. I heard NPR hang up on Dave Barker and summarily dismiss him as a weirdo. I have seen the attitude of these Congressmen on a Newscast, gleefully contemplating action against the Python menace. The Reptile community is not a major voting block. In fact when I have called the office of these Congressmen today, the Florida Congressmen's offices seemed to be downright gleeful about my Michigan zip code.These same Congressmen mindlessly oppose gun ownership also. However they have the Constitution blocking their way on that issue. In this particular case you have no big stick. In fact you have no stick at all. I applaud your enthusiasm and have no wish to discourage you in your efforts. I just disagree wit your assessment of the situation and posted to explain why I endorse the USARK position.
