I was in the truck DC.  We came across a number of rattlers and other strange desert critters on the dirt roads.  I couldn't believe my friends got out the car to check out the snakes when they were coiled up and hissing.  I grew up fearing rattlers and the last thing I would ever do is mess with a rattle snake.  We had a big argument about whether a snake could strike you if you were standing further away than the length of the snake, but why even risk it?

P.S.  I heard Cenk make some comment on the show yesterday about posting travel pics and his insinuations were definitely not my intentions (merely responding to Jazz's upcoming trip) so I posted a comment below with my view of the drug cartels and violence in Mexico.
