    On topic - I feel really bad for this guy, but it's the risk he took. At the end he talked about a few irresponsible keepers ruining it for everyone and he put himself in that category when he moved in with all those snakes. There's more to being a responsible pet owner than just taking good care of the animals.
    You may have been being sarcastic in your suggestion of abolishing laws and speed limits but, you actually are closer to the truth than most.
    Have you heard of the 85% rule (regarding safe driving speed)?
    You remove speed limits on any section of road and record the average speed driven. Then you take the lowest 85%'s maximum speed and then set and enforce that as the speed limit. This tends to invariably be higher than current maximums but, in treacherous areas the speed actually drops.
    Turns out most people aren't blithering idiots with a death wish as that test reduced collisions and associated deaths, property damage etc. It just seems they are idiotic enough to think that a few mandarins full of prejudice should over rule individual property rights in a matter that affects no one outside of that property.

    It seems introductory civic's classes need to be brought back. Because if "government" is the answer you are asking the wrong questions.
