This isnt about reality its about the corrupt politicians in Florida trying to scare everyone into thinking they too have a problem so they can get more Federal funding for themselves. Since most people are afraid of snakes, especially big ones, this approach will breed media hype and fear propaganda.

Governments(and other organizations) have used fear for centuries to motivate the ignorant to doing what they want.

Its the old get them before they get us mentality. Who cares who or what gets trampled in the process as long as we get ours, so sad
I second that!
