"It is the responsibility of every citizen to ignore dumb laws."
You see it all the time with ball pythons in NYC, apparently. Like with what's going on with marijuana, the more people who are unable or refusing to follow the draconian law, and harder it is to enforce it, the more lawsuits and protests that are made (seriously, go downtown and make your voice heard) the more the law will be tampered with to suit the citizen's needs if you actually make it out to be a big deal for everyone. It's about time the pet community got together and caused some ruckus anyway. Let's all get organized nationwide for a change - what else are we going to do as our rights are peeled away from us?
