Hi,

I wonder why asthma, emphysemia, acid rain and global warming are not
seen as the Devil?

That should be interesting.  Wonder if the animal rights groups will get
involved in this?  Will they side with the efforts to "save the animals" 
by killing thousands of them?  Or they try to stop the "Greens" from
protesting the nuclear transport because that will likely spread the 
hoof-and-mouth disease?  (Of course if they go to protest the Green 
protests, THEY will also help spread the disease ;-) 

Must be tough to be politically correct these days.
