  What is all this fuz about. From one mad cow there can be hundereds of tasty burgers. 1% testing maybe even to much as the meat from a mad cow is very hard to sell and it may end up in sausages or health care packets for the third world accidentally. So better no test at all saving the USD for more important things like the troops securing the oil fields in Iraq.

  For once I can agree with all of you. Great comments. Well we all know where oil and beef come from in places like Texas and some other states and it would not surprise me one bit to read about a study someone made about the complete holdings of the Bush Clan and whatever other items that all of us need. Nothing like going into retirement while padding your own nest egg to make sure you are taken cared of when you can no longer inflict your ideas on the American People.

  The Japanese have the right solution...just don't eat American beef...since it comes from a country where the buck is more important than the health and welfare of its people!
