McDonalds is messing with Canada
I'm sure those of you who aren't in the cattle business don't
understand the issues here. But to those of us whose living depends on
the cattle market, selling cattle, raising the best beef possible...
This is frustrating.
This will keep us from ever stopping there again, even for a drink.
The original message is from the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association
Canadian cattle producers are very passionate about this.
McDonald's claims that there is not enough beef in Canada to support
their restaurants. Well, we know that is not so. Our opinion is they
are looking to save money at our expense. The sad thing of it is that
the people of Canada are the ones who made McDonald's successful in
the first place, but we are not good enough to provide beef.
We personally are no longer eating at McDonald's, which I am sure does
not make an impact, but if we pass this around maybe there will be an
impact felt.
Please pass it on. Just to add a note:
All Canadians that sell cattle at a livestock auction barn have to
sign a paper stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cattle any part of
another animal. South Americans are not required to do this as of yet.
McDonald's has announced that they are going to start importing much
of their beef from South America . The problem is that South
Americans aren't under the same regulations as Canadian beef
producers, and the regulations they have are loosely controlled.
They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures that have been
banned here at home because of residues found in the beef. They can
also use various hormones and growth regulators that we can't. The
Canadian public needs to be aware of this problem and that they may be
putting themselves at risk from now on by eating at good old
McDonald's.
Canadian ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and this
is what Canadians deserve to eat. Not beef from countries where
quality is loosely controlled. Therefore, I am proposing a boycott of
McDonald's until they see the light.
I'm sorry but everything is not always about the bottom line, and when
it comes to jeopardizing my family's health, that is where I draw the
line.
I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it
to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at l
east ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached
over THREE MILLION consumers!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you?
Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you,
please pass this message on.

Wikileaks reveal descent in relations
Perhaps if the USA hadnt gone out of their way to break up the Commonwealth nations they wouldnt have this problem.
I'm definitely stealing these for the government folly thread!
Jack Horner says Triceratops may have been juvenile Torosaurus.
I'm suspicious about this and will continue to watch this one because the initial amount of examined material is small (18 skulls total), it goes against long established palaeontological knowledge (not by itself a problem, because long standing palaeontological knowledge has been overturned before-see apatosaurus) and Jack Horner can sometimes be a bit of an iconoclast amongst palaeontologists (his stance on Tyrannosaurus rex, for example). The man has done great work, of that there can be no doubt, but I'd like some more evidence (and examination by other palaeontologists) before we start rewriting the books on ceratopians. Also, one other problems is that triceratops overall size is as big, if not bigger than estimates for for torosaurus overall size. As a side note, toro- here means "perforated" not "bull"; that would be "taurosaurus" (although Othniel Charles Marsh could have been a little bit clearer in his notes about that...)

That's about my stance as well. I still blame Jack Horner for the travesty that was the Jurassic Park films (he was the primary scientific consultant--note the Robert Bakker caricature in JP II).

The third one definitely, but IMO the first was quite enjoyable actually (different from the book sure, but that's Hollywood for you and a quality version on its own (see LotR for another example) and Bakker was actually used as a consultant on the first one at the very least. The second was not as good but still not bad, as for the third ... T. rex would have easily won the fight with Spinosaurus would just be the start of my complaints. :)
