So there are things that are worse than a Hillary Clinton presidency?

How can we say without a double-blind study?

I lived in Europe for a few years in the early 1980s. Because of that, I cannot donate blood. I always tell people that anyone who receives my blood will get Mad Cow Disease and die, even though I’m fine.

I'm in the same boat. For years they have been saying they will have a test, but still not test. Have you heard anything?

I'd love to donate blood.

Same boat as well. I called the Red Cross about 6 moths ago just to see if the policy still existed. They said that it was no change to the policy and that I was still ineligible.

Gave up on trying to win the prion level in Plague Inc. Maybe I’ll try it again. Gotta do something to fight cabin fever.

But President Hillary RodMe Klinton would already BE a form of mad cow, so how can you compare the two?

Same deal for me. More than 6 months in the UK in the early ‘80s.

They don’t want my blood.

The local Red Cross blood donation center lost about 1/4 of their donors (including me) over CJD.

I spent a grand total of 4 days in England during my 4 1/2 years in Germany, where there were never any reports of mad cow. I suppose there were only happy cows in Germany.

My blood bank only asks if you spent more than three months in the UK within a certain time period, which I don’t remember.
