It's amazing how PigFarmer has so much time on his hands. Also how full of spite he is and how much he likes to sow negativity. Also interesting that he has a vendetta again certain people, such as OT, yet he only fairly recently started posting on Ranchers. Where did all that venom come from...

It depends upon the reason for inaccuracy. False positives? False negatives? Because the prion disease is not advanced enough yet? Because of human error? Because other conditions cause the same results?

The man in charge of UK surveillance, Dr. Robert Will, briefed one month ago that 2004 had seen a slight increase in vCJD onsets from 2003. So it's not clear it's "on the decline" unless you wish to claim you know more that the scientist in charge of surveillance in the country that knows the...

Humans can infect other humans with CJD (via blood) several years before they manifest symptoms. I have NO idea why anyone would be so dumb as to think that it is only when you manifest symptoms that you can transmit a disease. Is that true for other diseases? And in fact, it now appears...

In addition, you can download the Microsoft spyware for free as well. I run a number of spyware programs. Also, switching from Internet Explorer to Firefox will help. I had terrible trouble with IE and spyware and my system seizing up and crashing.

It is funny that I said the same thing as Econ101. As consumers, the fact that we noticed over the last 5 - 8 years that our clothing increasingly had "Made in China" "Made in Hong Kong" "Made in Mariana Islands" labels has accustomed us to think we SHOULD know where goods come from. It has...
