that concept has been around for... well... ever. Even on the dawn of this here country, way back when.
Have you ever heard the saying "the only good Indian is a dead Indian"? This was quoted as coming from a General ( wish I could recall his name now). Who in fact Never went futher west in his life/career then the Mighty Mississippi. During a time when most all Indians were pushed out of the eastern states localities. This man who never once met/saw/came in contact or had any dealings first hand with any Indian finally is presented with a dead body one day that had been 'touring' that part of the country. This man takes one look and makes his statement which then inturn becomes a national theme or mantra of sorts to the whole country.
Yep the concept of wanting to ban something, distroy, develope laws against the unknown has been around for a very long time. sad fact to human nature I think.

I could get on my soapbox here but I won't...I agree that the jump to ban / outlaw/ or kill (animals for whatever reasons )...is extreme.

What bothers me is people shout the loudest and don't know the facts about what it is they want to ban.
Some folks just like to hear themselves talk and go on and on when they haven't a clue.
They drive me nuts.
That and People who leave shopping carts in the parking lot without returning them to the right spot.
Grrr. I saw this yesterday and I think what Lazy..........
They make me so mad

Everyone has an opinion even when they don't know squat. I especially like the ones who want to ban things that is "our right". If you don't know what you are talking about then be quiet and take a hike, lol.

These are people who feel the need to micromanage the yard next store to avoid dealing with the mess in their own yard.
