Government Bungling
Want to know why we are experiencing a financial meltdown? Government meddling in the marketplace! They created this mess, from the Fed, to the FNMA monopoly, to encouraging people to buy homes they couldn't afford. Now they are panicking and have to rescue a ton of companies that were forced to use these government institutions.
On a much smaller scale, Seattle is gearing up to ban pit bulls. You can count on it. There have been a couple of recent pit bull attacks, and now an editorial in the Seattle Times which opens the door to politicians to regulate or outright ban breeds (and letting them know the paper will not criticize them for doing so). This will fail, too.

Government Meddling... Again
The financial community is talking this morning about the bailout of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. One article talked about how the US is giving up on capitalism, others are talking about how capitalism failed in this instance. Sorry. Wrong. These two entities were government made monsters, and they are now failing. They shouldn't have been created by the government in the first place, and now we have to bail them out. Government bailing out government created entities isn't free enterprise at work. We probably wouldn't be in this mortgage mess if the government hadn't been involved in the first place.
I am against too much government regulation and manipulation in the marketplace, whether it is about mortgages or dogs. Either way, it messes up a whole lot of people and results in unacceptable costs to everyone involved.

Huh? This Can Happen?
A veterinary nurse and her dog have contracted the cattle form of tuberculosis, prompting an investigation by the Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs. "Bovine TB is a recognised zoonotic (can be transmitted from humans to animals) agent and that is precisely why we have a compulsory bovine TB control programme in cattle."
M. bovis can infect humans, primarily by ingestion of raw (unpasteurized) milk or dairy products but also through aerosols and breaks in the skin. Infections in humans may result in asymptomatic infections, pulmonary tuberculosis, or disseminated infections. The symptoms of pulmonary infection can include fever, cough, chest pain, cavitation, hemoptysis, and fibrosis. Untreated infections may be fatal.
Weird. There are probably a lot of diseases that doctors and other professionals are on the lookout for that we know nothing about. I wonder the risk to dogs on farms???
