Bill, I just think your statements about snakes being bad is an untrue and unfair generalization based on stereotyped thinking. As you know, we in North America have our rattlers, and I am sure the Indonesians have their equivalent. I believe it was a rattler of the North American variety that bit Bre-X back in October-December. Then, some of the Indonesian snakes tried to get their bites in. Does the fact that rattlers exist mean that all North American snakes are poisonous? No. In fact we all know that the species native to North America are mostly harmless, and some even have beneficial uses. For example, they prey on rats and other vermin which would otherwise overrun the environment. I think the same can be said about Indonesia. Yes, there are some poisonous snakes in Indonesia, but most are harmless, and some can even be beneficial. Even Hasan, at worst, is probably just a King snake -- harmless (even beneficial in keeping other vermin at bay) if you treat him right, dangerous only if you piss him off. Please try not to lump all your snakes together. You might have a better understanding of the ecosystem.
