Ha, very true. It is quite annoying that the American public is so blinded
by television that if they tell you there's no mad cow you better believe
it. I fear it is also this sense of American bravado that says, "it won't
happen to us, we're American."
People have already forgotten we said that on September 10th 2001.
So many people, so few of them with minds.

Mike,
It is an excellent example on how it goes, when you try to hide and not
acknowledge that the mad cow decease hit US a long time ago. Not being
able to keep the balance is a clear sign. Cannibalism is also recognized
as a root cause. I am not saying that Bush is one of the victims, probably
not, since the mad cow decease is a degeneration of brain cells and
without them, no mad cow decease.

OK, I've been a little preoccupied lately and haven't been able to
contributions to recent discussions. However, one of Kieth's recent posts
caught my attention.
Please allow me to vent.
...I'm quoting parts of Kieth's post in reverse order.
"My hope is -- and I think the hope of Tony Blair is -- to move
beyond the Kyoto debate and to collaborate on new technologies that
will enable the United States and other countries to diversify away
from fossil fuels so that the air will be cleaner and that we have
the economic and national security that comes from less dependence on
foreign sources of oil," Bush said.
"Bush spoke of his administration's investment of $20 billion (16.55
billion euros) in developing hydrogen-powered vehicles, zero-emission
power stations and other technology."
Bush's position shifts like the tide -- like a tide resulting from global
warming and which might swallow Bangladesh.
He starts out with "...away from fossil fuels...", then differentiates
who's fossil fuels with "...less dependence on foreign sources of oil".
Finally, (In an earlier statement) he spoke of his administrations $20
billion investment in hydrogen powered vehicles, demonstrating his
steadfast commitment to oil interests.
He wants to project concern toward (only the most uneducated)
environmentalists with a technology that addresses the storage of energy
and not sustainable resources for conversion. At the same time, he chooses
a cause which the oil industry can actively participate. Finally, a low
emphasis on greenhouse gas emissions is an invitation for some companies
to manufacture "green" products with no regard to the manufacturing
processes and how it contributes to global warming -- thus, defeating the
purpose.
I think I need to throw up now.
Mike
