Maybe, but they would still have their Volvos' and Range rovers to drive back and forth to their cave wouldnt they??? They would have plenty of fuel for them as it just "appears" out of thin air...... And doesnt Tofu grow on some kind of tree outside of caves in the Pacific NW?
I agree that the Gov't for the most part could give two rat's-asses for what happens to people in general.... BUT..... Dead people do nothing for the economy and cannot vote.... Think about that....
On another note, they are full of BS when it comes to the mad-cow thing.... I used to run the Health Services Department for IBP (Beef Processor) and I can tell you from my own experience that spinal cord matter does in fact get on the meat all the time.... When they split the carcass, they go right through the backbone with a saw, the saw goes through the spine and the vertebra are after all your T-bones etc..... NO MORE FEEDING ANIMALS TO ANIMALS..... At least the ones that die of disease and then are ground up by greedy people who DO only care about a buck....
