hi polvie there are a lot of snakes where i live. good (non-poisonous) and bad (poisonous) ones. when i see one in the yard i usually have an over-riding fear envelope me and my instinct tells me to be cautious of danger. i have no problem killing the copperheads to provide a safe secure yard for my kids. although occasionally i see a hog-nosed snake rear up fan out like a cobra and hiss at me, without fail fear fills me and then upon closer inspection i realize that it is a harmless snake and let it go on. the fear i feel is not right or wrong, it is real. i think the author of the letter was communicating the same thing. when we equate the snake with danger we feel fear at all encounters with snakes, until we are further educated, as too which are dangerous and which aren't. many of us are way too busy to study up on the subject. until americans take the time to learn the differences in a muslim and a sikh, for example, there will be people like the author of that letter. the good thing is, that talking about it has brought out a lot of discussion that has enlighten us and reduced the fear for both sides of the issue. once bitten twice shy, she
