One can easily imagine milk-curdling screams. When I designed the network control center for the US Department of Agriculture, I was acutely aware I was building the facility that, in the US government, had official responsibility for bull(s).

On the other hand, if the hairspray-abusers of the media, or the spinmeisters of either political extreme, started to refer to MOO-COW rather than a breathless "Global War On Terror", it might lead to complacency. It's hard to win. The house always takes its cut.
