So you're saying that if prions could vote, they'd vote democrat? This
reminds me so much of the imbeciles that refuted the devastating affects of
DDT back in the 60's. They were the one ultimately proven wrong, now
weren't they? One stalwart individual even sprinkled it on his breakfast
cereal to prove it was all just "hocus pocus." He died, at a very young
age, of liver cancer a few years later.

Basic husbandry practices in Europe dating back 8 centuries dictated that
animals not be fed the remains of their own species. Seems a few lessons
have been forgotten. But by all means label every scientist out to
enlighten and protect the public some wild-eyed radical.

Have some DDT with your Cheerios and think about it.
