Get a grip, Eric!

As foolish a lawsuit as this one is, and I *do* agree
with you on its merits, don't castigate the whole cattle industry.  I
suspect that if you polled people in the cattle business, you'd find
most are embarrassed by the Amarillo doings.  If you have information
on who is actually bankrolling this, go after that party, but don't
make a blanket indictment of everyone in Texas who is associated with
beef.  And the law they're suing under, which I don't like either, is not
for the sole protection of cattlemen, but for the entire Texas agriculture
business.

Have a malt and a cheeseburger and just relax.
