Just a point of accuracy. Companies are neither greedy nor selfish. A company is just a legal construct. It is people that are greedy and selfish.
And I agree with Az.
On the other hand, at this point there is no evidence that we have a serious problem....one cow with the herd to be destroyed. I think it says a lot that it was detected while only one cow was manifesting symptoms. I have heard that the only way to contract this disease is to eat specific tissues, none of which consists of the noraml muscle tissue used for human consumption...is this accurate?
I have also heard that the total number of human cases was anywhere from 100 to 10,000 total.....more people drown in their bath tubs each year so this doesn't sound as lethal as the media seems to have hyped it to be.
I know Pritchke is predicting that the Market is going to crash......we will see. I predict it takes a hit and then keeps on climbing...beef is not even close to being the only commodity sold.
All in all just another example of how people jump to trumpet bad news and ignore the good...say like all the acts of Christian and Other denominations of Charity that are taking place this Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanzaa season.
