Comments on: Snake Handlers http://www.edgewiseblog.com/mjh/uncategorized/snake-handlers/ "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." -- Sam Adams Tue, 08 Mar 2011 01:17:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sue http://www.edgewiseblog.com/mjh/uncategorized/snake-handlers/comment-page-1/#comment-54963 Sue Sat, 29 Mar 2008 14:00:08 +0000 http://www.edgewiseblog.com/mjh/uncategorized/snake-handlers/#comment-54963 Thank you for your beautiful piece about snakes. We keep several kinds of snakes, including a gopher snake, and occasionally we encounter deep-set prejudice against them when we do educational demonstrations in the community. But I'm happy to say that more and more children are expressing wonder when they see and touch a snake for the first time. Children seem to better appreciate the important role snakes play in the world, and I credit animal shows on TV for that step forward. I hope this is the beginning of a new attitude about these beautiful and fascinating creatures. Thanks again... Thank you for your beautiful piece about snakes.
