Perhaps true patriots should get proactive in law enforcement. I mean get your neighbor thrown in jail for not having his garbage can lids on, or failing to recycle. Get the city inspectors in everywhere, report imaginary bad smells and shit like that.

Do eveything possible to get the government down everybody's throat.

Think it has a chance ?

I drank raw milk and look what happened to me. You want another one of me in the world ?

You have to get this unpasteurized, unhomogenized and unstabilized milk off the streets ! It is killing people, oops, not killing people.

Drinking raw (untreated) milk or eating raw milk products is "like playing Russian roulette with your health," says John Sheehan, director of the Food and Drug Administration's Division of Dairy and Egg Safety. "We see a number of cases of foodborne illness every year related to the consumption of raw milk."

More than 300 people in the United States got sick from drinking raw milk or eating cheese made from raw milk in 2001, and nearly 200 became ill from these products in 2002, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Raw milk may harbor a host of disease-causing organisms (pathogens), such as the bacteria campylobacter, escherichia, listeria, salmonella, yersinia, and brucella.

Common symptoms of foodborne illness from many of these types of bacteria include diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, headache, vomiting, and exhaustion.

Most healthy people recover from foodborne illness within a short period of time, but others may have symptoms that are chronic, severe, or life-threatening.

People with weakened immune systems, such as elderly people, children, and those with certain diseases or conditions, are most at risk for severe infections from pathogens that may be present in raw milk. In pregnant women, Listeria monocytogenes-caused illness can result in miscarriage, fetal death, or illness or death of a newborn infant. And Escherichia coli infection has been linked to hemolytic uremic syndrome, a condition that can cause kidney failure and death.

Some of the diseases that pasteurization can prevent are tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, salmonellosis, strep throat, scarlet fever, and typhoid fever.
Pasteurization and Contamination

The pasteurization process uses heat to destroy harmful bacteria without significantly changing milk's nutritional value or flavor. In addition to killing disease-causing bacteria, pasteurization destroys bacteria that cause spoilage, extending the shelf life of milk.

Milk can become contaminated on the farm when animals shed bacteria into the milk. Cows, goats, and sheep carry bacteria in their intestines that do not make them sick but can cause illness in people who consume their untreated milk or milk products.

But pathogens that are shed from animals aren't the only means of contamination, says Tom Szalkucki, assistant director of the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Cows can pick up pathogens from the environment just by lying down--giving germs the opportunity to collect on the udder, the organ from which milk is secreted. "Think about how many times a cow lays down in a field or the barn," says Szalkucki. "Even if the barn is cleaned thoroughly and regularly, it's not steamed. Contamination can take place because it's not a sterile environment."

And remember Katrina, how the left screamed that George Bush doesn't care because he didn't force the city of New Orleand or the state of Lousiana into into a forced evacuation prior to the storm hitting?

Sanity, 

You know me under another moniker, mnottertail.

I have scoured the medical journals, the liberal media rags and done a due diligence and no lefties are raising any hue and cry about arbusto poisoning people over raw milk, it is surely imagination.

I see stuff like Iraq, the economy, the general malaise, nothing about family of roquefort cheeses such as gammel ost (old cheese, meaning cheese made the old way)--- most of these are raw cheeses and have been made without serious detriment to society since christ was a corporal, and how arbusto is augering us in the ground due to his lack of diligence in the realm of cow titties. 

This tempest in a teapot is not going to go the distance with heart medication costing some 200-2000 a month for our seniors.

I wouldn't get too upset about THAT.
