There is an almost universal fear and distrust of serpents. Rabbits arent scary and spiders arent generally thought of as cunning like serpents are.
On the other hand, maybe we are genetically hardwired by our serpent overlords to fear reptiles. A control feature they built in when genetically engineering us? I dont believe that for a moment, but I suppose it is one possibility.

IMHO, I think the Reptilian phenomenon is a manifestation of the collective unconscious.
This community needs to start policing it's own, or it will NEVER be taken seriously by the mainstream (which is the goal of this place right? To take on the things that mainstream media will not, thus forcing certain subjects to become accepted mainstream material?)
