I've survived a bite, and had a friend in high school that did not, from a Diamond Back. If I see a poisonous/threatening snake in an area that I plan on inhabiting or returning to I'll kill it every time. If this makes me small and ignorant I guess I have to accept that. I'd hazard a guess that being rushed to a hospital for anti-venom and loosing a friend in the process might alter your outlook.
