Stupidity

Another great example of government stupidity can be found over at Northview Diary. Imagine, relocating a secure animal disease research facility from a safe off shore island to the middle of cattle country in Kansas. What, we are trying to spread disease to the cattle of this country?

The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop. P. J. O'Rourke

Sam, is that the Plum Island facility I once visited off the north shore of Long Island New York when I was in the military back in the mid-1970's.

Cattle were supposed to arrive there but never leave.(?)

Sherm Ewing also detailed this facility in his book "The Ranches" which confused me to no end, I still have that book and "The Range" in my bookcase. I guess you must be into cattle to understand the details of that book. The Range was alot easier to understand.

Yea, that's the facility they want to close down and do all the animal research on deadly diseases in Kansas. Doesn't make much sense, does it.

We were out gathering the yearlings yesterday when I came across this scary sight. Hunters. The thought of riding around on a four legged critter with hunters of unknown quality around shooting things with four legs is very scary. A person might get shot. I approached them and saw they all ready had shot a couple of deer and they were heating up some coffee and eating spam. At least they knew there were riders in the area after that.
