I can see your point and offer an example of the same mass brainwashing by the media and the antis.

Last night I walked into a Halloween party with a 5’ Boa.
[one of my smaller ones]

Apparently, if you walk boldly into a bar with a Boa as if you belong in a bar with a Boa, nobody will throw you out.

We were there for about 3 hours.

Most of those people only know TV horror stories of killer constrictors, wantonly stalking and murdering everything in their slimy, demonic path.

By the end of the night, even the screaming-meemies were -begging- to hold her and have their photo taken with her.

I lost count of how many people passed her around...scores, at least.

Without exception, everyone was amazed that she was nothing like what they’d been told constrictors are.

Nobody there knew my name but as we left, they were all saying goodbye to Beej.

Ironically, the very same people who were most loathe to touch her in the first place returned over and over again to caress her smooth skin and rub her head.

Why?
Their paradigm had shifted.
Their reality was rocked.

Because what the media force feeds us is crapaganda.

The masses are perpetually startled sheep, forever being panicked into a bleating, milling stampede by the talking heads.

Guns.
Dogs.
Snakes.
Cholesterol.
Wobbly ladders.
Whatever.

We have lost the collective ability to filter out the whiny white noise of bargain basement histrionics and form opinions for ourselves.

I find myself chronically disgusted by the general lack of testicular fortitude.

FWIW, the female cop at the door didn’t even blink as I went out and in with the snake draped around my shoulders.

Calm cop.

Impressively stable.
