No one is doubting that an investigation needs to take place and according to the news report, one is taking place, but the point of this discussion that has taken off is Rosie\’s comment that President Bush should be doing something — most people would prefer he focus on big problems and let the investigation take place.
Wonder if the War is putting us all a little on edge.
Good time for the Four Immeasurables:
May all living beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.
May all living beings be free from misery and the causes of misery.
May all living beings never be separated from happines; may they be devoid of misery.
May all living beings abide in equanmity, free from prejuducial attachments and aversions.
Serious, I\’m extremely sorry but the thought of cyanide in my morning Wheaties doe not leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. It seems quite a few people on this board are just not going to \”get it\” until they actually \”get it\” in the form of poison in your food.
Lisa – I appreciate what your saying, but I think those of us that have a problem with Rosie\’s comments were that she wanted Bush to make a comment on people losing their pets. Maybe if she had articulated more and suggested what YOU are suggesting, the rest of the yahoo\’s wouldn\’t be so upset.
But to be honest, I don\’t remember any comments from the whitehouse when there was that E-Coli breakout. Furthermore, is that something the White House needs to comment on??? Shouldn\’t information regarding these matters come from the places that do the research and solve the problems???? Maybe the CDC??? I\’m just saying.

It wasn\’t Bush et al that\’s sold this country to the highest bidder. That\’s been going on for a long time and started when the democrats who were in charge and by the way – they\’ve had the majority in the house and senate for years at a time and THAT\’S where all the power is and they\’ve made a right cock-up of it. We\’re owned by so many foreign conglomerates it\’s no wonder our culture is up for grabs. (Hello – Press 1 for English; Press 2 for non-english then hang up til you learn it!)
Lisa, just because you are registered Independent, as am I, that does not mean you can\’t be \”leftist\”. I happen to be very conseravtive, but since tiring of party politics, I dumped the GOP.
As far as this \”crisis\” over pet food, even if it is food grade, the President does not need to concern himself with the issue. That\’s why there is the FDA.
The job of the President of the United States of America is to run the country, not micro-manage every issue that comes along. Just because the press covers an issue for an extended amount of time, doesn\’t make it of national importance. Case in point; the coverage of Anna Nicole Smith\’s death. Ridiculous!!
Excellent point. Rosie wanted Bush to do something, such as…? I know let\’s have him do an investigation to see what happened. He\’d probably have to appoint someone in the executive branch of government with an expertise in this area to do that. Wait a minute, isn\’t that already going on?
Jesus people, the sky is not falling!!. We are not going to be poisoned to death in mass quantities, nor are we going to boil over due to global warming. More people have died already driving to work today than will die from food poisoning brought on by tainted food in an entire year. As far as pets go, I bet more have been euthanized in Animal hospitals in the last 5 days due to lack of space than all that have died from tainted food. Get a grip people and look at the numbers as a whole.
Sorry, couldn\’t help myself with that subject. Isn\’t the point of this forum to have open discussions like this? I admit, sometimes they get completely off subject and not really insurance related…but minus the insults, I love hearing other\’s perspectives, and I love to see people get rilled up! It\’s life!!

Shakin\’ my head at this one.

Take good care my fellow insurance human beings.
