The spin doctors have done their job well.
As of now it doesn't matter where that damned cow came from. Eighty percent
of Americans have seen the headlines and probably ninety percent of those
folks have not bothered to read the fine print in these 'news releases' that
say there is no proof of origin as yet positively identified.
As illustrated by the threads on the subject an unproven 'suggestion' is now
taken as fact which was, of course, the expected result.
If the investigation determines that Canada was not the source (of the cow
or the infection) you can be sure that that news will be buried on 'page
six'.
One thing positive (at least for me) are the identities of several asshole
Americans whose rabid Canada bashing has earned them a permanent place in my
killfile. What is it with you guys (you know who you are) that you are so
insecure you have to place the blame for all that is wrong on us?
