then please do explain how the current states of infrastructure, economics, unemployment and the housing market are even remotely possible.
then this should interest you. you should take the time to at least read the bill and know it's history and reasoning. also reference the articles and subsections in which they refer to in the context in which they're rewritten for this bill.
thats sheep talk, and quite honestly totally contradictory to your first statement. as americans, the one pride we have is the fact that we fought for our rights. it would be ashamed to see that go down the drain in one generation. oh, wait... too late....
while i agree with this, the context you write it in is quite astonishing. it says to me, that you believe that if congress, the usfws and the state of florida can't think of anything better than to make it's citizens outlaws to get their way, you're going to lay down and let them do it to you. even worse... you're going to let them do it to your fellow citizens?to set the story straight... this isn't about the big 5. this is about the burmese, period. to add to that, there was 9 (actually 10, really) species on that list until last week (that's for 4 years) that they thought they could easily pass under our noses. the reason i say actually 10 is because red tailed boa was listed as "redtail boa", however it's actually two distinct species with several locales from around the world. so boa constrictor imperator and boa constrictor constrictor were considered one species under this bill (sneaky, sneaky).
the "smarmy" remark goes back a ways and refers to you twisting things out of context to shine a bad light on me. i think it's obvious that if i wanted to say something i'd come straight forward with it now. fact is, i was a little upset when i wrote that and by the time i'd got back to it i realized it didn't belong here and couldn't remedy that since i hit post too fast and this currently broken system (A/C) wouldn't let me edit it out. i'm sorry for bringing it up here. that was wrong.back on topic; ridding yourself of snakes is in no way even a fathomable solution to the situation in the everglades. you and i both know that. this isn't about a snake... this is about a senator that didn't do his job and passed it on to federal legislation to save his hide so he can be reelected. this is about civil liberties, encroachment on our personal space and our rights as american citizens. this is one of many attempts to overturn the lacey act and make as many pets illegal as possible. this is the first step in that direction that's going to be a success and the first step in disbanding pet owners as a group so we fight within ourselves giving big brother free reign to take what they want.do tell me how everyone can see that a bill to protect children from internet child pornography and sex offenders is capable of shutting down the entire internet, but somehow a bill that's supposed to save the everglades from the burmese pythons that have been spawning there for decades and includes 9 other species to be banned in michigan, main, washington, etc. isn't an obvious encroachment on our rights??????? legislation that works... that's what we need... not legislation that's useless. these guys get paid too much money not to see the obvious.
Virginia right now is very likely going to be passing legislation banning my boa constrictor outright before the federal government gets a chance to. Have you heard of HB1242 or SB477 that are being proposed in Va?
not familiar with the medicaid bill, but a friend in washington state enlightened me a little on the other bill some time ago.if there's anything i can do to help being from out of state (a petition i can sign or a letter i can send, etc.) on your HB1242 situation, just let me know. i'd need a lot of information on the other one to help at this point.that rexano link is very interesting. nobody ever thinks about finding the truth, though, unfortunately.
