Hi mrj, Love you dearly, but have to burst your bubble on a few points. The vCJD prion is identical to the BSE prion. Identical. Unlike other Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease variants it is not a misfolded analog of an existing human protein. How did it get there other than absorbtion through the gut...

You boys (and girls) don't know the half of it. You may recall the G20 summit in Toronto last year. An initiative to kill the suggested financial institution surtax to help offset the enormous increase in government deficits throughout the world was launched by the Prime Minister of Canada (aka...

Well then Sandy, there should be no problem for you to provide proof that breaking up the big packers into smaller buyers will cause an increase in income for the cow/calf operator. Let's have it.

Nope. The roundup resistance gene comes from a bacteria of the Agrobacterium species. Interesting story. http://sandwalk.blogspot.com/2007/03/roundup-ready-transgenic-plants.html

Brother burnt, for me the burning revelation was that the O in OT apparently actually stands for Olga! Who knew?

Well boys and girls, we have come full circle on the packer question. If government intervention isn't the answer, then what do you propose? Besides complaining loudly and long on ranchers.net that is. What's the answer going forward? As many seem to agree (myself included), at this rate the...

Now Hay Maker, that sentiment is tough to reconcile with your anti-packer stance. as OT will no doubt tell you, it was Teddy Roosevelt's legislation that spelled the end of the Beef Trust. Who's going to force the packers to allow fair competition on cattle prices if not the government? You...

Maybe you can. "For verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you." Matthew 17:20

OK, here goes: A monopoly is "the exclusive possesssion or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service". What you are claiming the packers have going on, for your edification, is what is known as "monopoly capitalism", defined as "a capitalist system typified by trade monopolies in...

Sure I said that. Not. Typical Texan; too busy listening to his own opinion to pay attention. What I said was that the American Way is to buy low and sell high. Anybody that whines about corporations, or individuals for that matter, trying to maximize profit in the capitalist center of the...

Hay Maker, who can take it seriously when you say you want an open-minded discussion/poll? "Never try and reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out." Sydney Smith

You got a problem with the American Way, Sandy? I'm surprised at you.

You won't get that number from Flounder. He has no interest in the facts or the truth, just his 'mission'. FYI, the total deaths from vCJD in England totalled 170 as of October 2010, with 4 confirmed cases still alive. That averages out to about one death per 1,000 confirmed cases of BSE in...

So, the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Centre (NPDPSC) in Cleveland found that of 2,177 cases of Creutzfeld-Jakob disease that they examined, 3 (three) were variant CJD of the type associated with the consumption of BSE infected meat products (notoriously luncheon meats and...

You got a free trade agreement with China that I don't know about Sandy? Maybe your trade deficit problems have something to do with the fact that your multinationals have relocated all their manufacturing facilities elsewhere.

Bill C-6 is designed to repeal and replace Part I of the Hazardous Products Act,(3) creating a new system to regulate consumer products that pose, or might reasonably be expected to pose, a danger to human health and safety. The bill: ■prohibits the sale, manufacture, import and advertisement...

Now just a doggone minute here, OT. I thought you and Sandy have been telling us all along that packers are the only ones that oppose MCOOL in the US, but here is a third generation farming operation in Washington state that took on MCOOL. How in the heck are we supposed to believe anything...

Sandy, I gotta tell you it just makes my head hurt trying to rationalize two diametrically opposed concepts without having resort to the use of the word hypocrite. Ouch!
