Honestly. You lot are bickering like a bunch of children, and that's sad coming from me, since I know I'm younger than a lot of people here. Instead of sitting here arguing, you could be out spreading the word. Going to pet shops and places that carry snake supplies, putting up flyers, etc. Yes, I know it's a bit late for all that, but that's what you should have been doing instead of sitting and arguing.
Yes. Banning the importation is not something we want, but it's a hell of a lot better than them being banned outright. Life is unfortunately, full of compromises. You learn to either compromise or deal with the alternative which is usually a lot worse.
Before you jump me, yes, I called everyone on the list Monday, including my state reps (who weren't on the list, however, one of them is on the community, Jim Inhofe, fyi). No, I wasn't able to call the extended list today, due to having an extremely busy day, no I won't be able to call tomorrow morning due to how early it will be here (I doubt my attempts at being coherent would succeed).
Bottom line: arguing isn't going to help anyone, especially the species you don't want banned.
