It's like the world has gone mad

The FDA, as well as those on the side of the meat industry, feel that it is safe for humans to eat meat and drink milk from cloned animals. (I do not in any way, shape, or form, support this position). In addition, they are against the labeling of such meat and dairy products in order to let consumers know what they are about to ingest has come from cloned animals. “The problem with labeling is that it implies that something is wrong with the food,” says William Hallman, director of the Food Policy Institute at Rutgers University. “Just like a label warns of peanuts, a label on cloned foods will be interpreted as a warning.”

Excuse me, but, does the "warning" label on cigarettes stop people from smoking? And the peanut warning label is so that people who have allergies know to stay away from food containing peanuts or processed in a facility that processes peanuts. It's called health and safety. It's called allowing the "free hand of the market" to decide, right? Isn't that what all of these big industry capitalist CEO's are always raving about? So, why not label cloned animals as such - and let the consumer decide if he or she feels safe eating an animal that has no evolutionary genetic history on this planet and is literally made up from a brand new, rarely discussed or debated technology in a laboratory?



More hypocrisy. Hey, all of you conservative, right-wing, "family-values" Americans...why don't you do something about this truly disgusting situation? Isn't this more important than abortion?



Speaking of disgusting... Those killed in the twin towers on 9/11 have never been given proper, body-identified burials. The remains of their bodies as well as the buildings they died in were rushed out of NYC: sold, junked, scrapped, melted, and otherwise destroyed and retransformed. Even though it was a crime scene, no investigation was ever done on any of the "evidence" contained at ground zero. Why? And why is it OK to use crime and burial scene evidence and steel as building material?



Why is this being released now? The report even states that, “At this time, there is no credible intelligence regarding specific plans by any extremist groups or individuals to perpetrate an act of terrorism against the U.S. mass transit system." So, why scare and frighten people? Is it because enough people aren't paying attention to Bush's low approval ratings? Is it because Hillary and Obama are dominating national television coverage? Why does my government continually try to terrorize me?
