Come Monday, we'll likely have interviews from England about how they fought their Mad Cow outbreak, and interviews with 'survivors', along win random useless advice on how 'not to become a victim.'

Come Tuesday, we'll have Canada offering to slaughter whole herds in an effort to 'cleanse' the herds and calls on the United States to do the same.

Come Wednesday, we'll have a 'second suspected case' of Mad Cow that will eventually be pr oven to be nonexistent and reported on page 17.

And on Thursday, we'll hear about a lawsuit being filed on behalf of the families of the victims... Victims that don't exist, but that won't matter.

Media hysteria.. Gotta love it. You're sick of seeing the video of the cow falling down? Wait until you have to watch the nine dwarfs alternately eating beef and boycotting it at the same time.

The question is whether red mean prices are going up (due to a shortage of good "clean" meat) or down (due to consumers demand dropping).

Given the commodity markets dropping, I predict that prices will drop for a brief period then go even higher than they are now.
