right, owning hots SHOULD be someone's choice but i agree with the licensing idea cuz you cant just approve every nick, harry & joe owning a hot just cuz they want it. there should be some kind of strict regulations and a looooong arduous painstaking process they should have to undergo.
that right there would weed out the careless people cuz they wont want to go through the whole process unless they're really serious about it.
the logic behind that is simply this,
if they have to jump through a buttload of hoops to get something they want such as a venomous snake, for example, they'll take better care of it right? cuz they'll appreciate all the hard work they had to put into getting it, hence lessening the chances of them making a stupid mistake.
Yeah, this sounds a lot better. Thanks for clarifying.

I just read it as "nobody should own hots because they are dangerous." And, decided to rant a little I do think people should be licensed to own hots, there is very special care in owning them. However, I think they should be able to do it. I loved watching Kevin (NERD?) handle his beautiful hots. Wow. Drool!

Have you seen that video. It's amazing.
