Farmers were that before the teaparty. Farmers will be that, after the teaparty. Finally, TSE prions know no borders, TSE prions know no age groups, TSE prions know no political party. sadly, it is a political and industry fed disease $$$ and it is mutating. ... kind regards, terry layperson [/QUOTE]
