Default Right to life!

Sorry, The Bill of Rights conveys no rights to rattlesnakes, or any other life form other than human life. But we ignore this right, as abortion is legal in the United States.

If you want to see eradication of all snakes because they scare you, then say so! It may not be the right decision, but at least you will have voiced your opinion. I guess I am using this thread as a more broad message than just "wipe out Snakes", or "Save the Polar Bear". It is so evident that most people LOVE animals, but when faced with their direct interaction with them they revert to--- Wipe em out if they interfere with our daily course of life.

I'm not criticizing this position. I merely am suggesting that this is the way we answer polls.

Question #1. Do you support the extinction of Polar Bears?
Question #2. Do you support higher electric bills for heating your home?

I am not saying that one is exclusive or connected to the other, but when it hits home, you know you're going to think about it more.

Confused? Well then sit down an answer the questions that you hear are the controversial issues of the day and then stick to your answers.
