Poor cow out of luck

Yeah, they get the worst...there's no part of a cow we don't use, apart from the meat, cow feet and hooves are rendered for human and pet food, gelatin, glue, buttons, handles, lubricants, cow- heel jelly, bonemeal, soaps, the foam in fire extinguishers, and fertilizers.

@Novelty we were told, in the Navy in the mid 70's, that one could eat it. Down side - possible diarrhea. All chemicals now. Hell, when I was a kid pharmacists, and some doctors, actually mixed medications and pressed compounds into pills. All drug companies now. The last major country to make opiates out of real opium is India. All thise pills now are chemically manufactured. I have wondered if manufactured opiates are more addictive; just a thought, and yes, I know the mud looking stuff is very addictive ad well.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Feb 26, 2020:

@FearlessFly the Intel community can be a scary place. The NSA does produce massive data from multiple sources. How much is really useful is a matter of opinion. I don't have any sources, only knowledge having worked military Intel in the late 70's and early 80's and kept up with some who stayed in or continued working it elsewhere - someone I know got in trouble with the FBI for using a satellite to see who was at his now ex wife's house. No prosecution, just a reprimand (That was about 9 years ago). I remember when I was in, we were told that 10 percent of calls from NYC down to D.C. were checked on if only for a few seconds. (I knew a guy who did that - met him at SAC). That said, I know how good surveillance was in my time 40 years ago and just knowing the growth of tech I can only imagine that the shit seen on movies now is probably pretty close. Add on: in defense of the Weapons of Mass Destruction debacle from Bush II, know that there are often conflicting assessments and from what I believe, most in Intel didn't think there were any weapons. I think Cheney fed the "minority report" to his puppets. Also: the government will lie to those doing the spying. This came out publicly in 85, and when some people I know found it and sent the info and pictures to the community, within three days it was squashed. An atomic bomb was set off the coast of South Africa in 79. We were told - nope not a bomb but phosphorescent fish rising to the surface and then told, not to destroy, but send all info to D.C., not Hawaii where we normally sent stuff. That spot on the Indian Ocean would have taken most of the phosphorescent fish in the sea.

@AnonySchmoose Very little play documentation survived the London Great Fire. There are some - during the Roundheads rule plays were moved out of the cities and strictly monitored and info inscribed for legal recourse. People know the actors of Shakespeare's groups, etc and speculation is grand about who played what. I met a scholar from South Carolina State - he had been a sixties actor and director, retired and teaching and visiting and lecturing in the 90's. He spoke of Romeo and Juliet being a black comedy and did excerpts in the vein of the heavy set comic actor of the King's Men. Not sure that happened; I do believe RandJ wasn't an Elizabethan drama by format and knowing the times the audience would have thought the young lovers' deaths tragic, but deserved for disobedience.

Personally I bought it all. I mean as a kid it was Bible, Bible, Bible. My Mom was Church secretary, music director, piano player, adult Sunday school teacher and janitor. Of course I believed, until it got too stupid, then I migrated toward New Age crap. I studied Buddhism and I read Rumi and so...

The foot thing is really a no no throughout the Mid-East and into Southeast Asia. Not sure if it is religion or culture. The Thais have a similar take on feet - they are dirty. The Thais also find head touching sexual harassment; I like that idea of the head being sensual.

I try; I can't do fish though. It makes me feel ill. I even discovered that I don't like beer that has been run through fish bladders. I made the beer judgment years after I discovered some beers STILL use fish bladders.

@itsmedammit found a list online after seeing an ad for a major company that was stopping the use of fish bladders - didn't know much myself til then.

Beowulfsfriend replies on Feb 5, 2020:

Since I started voting, I actually did vote for a couple republicans, a long time ago - never for President. And the one, a past senator from my state left his party and joined the Democratic party. Maybe, just maybe, some day one will return, but being pessimistic about most politicians, I doubt that I will ever vote another republican.

I think, as Woody Allen said, that everyone knows the same truth. Even believers. If they really believed at their core that their deceased loved one had gone up to heaven, and that they would see him/her again in a few years, they wouldn't sob inconsolably at funerals like everyone else does.

Since we live in a two party system and that isn't changing anytime soon, you are correct. Sure, having a parliament would be grand as we would have people willing to stand up and speak the truths, but that ain't happening. In the primary - vote your heart, I'm going with Bernie; in the election, vote pragmatically, I'm voting ANY Democrat.
