In reply to the discussion: I Have To Believe That Disney Made A Conscious Decision Not To Post 'Danger:Alligator' Signs..... [View all]lapislzi
(5,762 posts)I always know what wildlife I'm likely to encounter when I go to a place, right down to the spiders. But I'm weird that way. Most people don't do that, even if they should. Like most others, I failed in my due diligence the few times I went to Disney World, expecting, naively, that Disney management would or could prevent alligator infestations. If I had seen signposts warning of alligators, believe me, I would have heeded them. I've seen Nile crocodiles in action and those fuckers are fast.
Now I know, and if I ever find myself in Florida again, I will be 110% more vigilant. All things being equal, I'd rather wrestle the cobra. At least the thing gives you a fighting chance.
And, you're absolutely right. You can't fix stupid.
Peace and no cobras to you.
