At least so far fear of mad cow disease isn't about to bring the
country to its knees (if you don't worry about the government making
you register all your livestock, including chickens, under penalty of
law), which is unfortunately not the case with regard to fear of
terrorism.

You're certainly right about having a point -- I just get irritable
when anyone brings up naturalness when they're arguing about something
being safe. (Of course, I'm sure I do it myself -- 'natural' has
become one of the good words, right up there with 'motherhood'.
