[%%IMAGE1%%] When President Lee Myung-bak, his sidekick the Mad Cow, and the conservative media spoke about the risk of mad cow disease, they talked about it in terms of probability, speaking of the likelihood of being affected by mad cow disease in terms of millionths.New reports say four people in China have died from melamine, and that the “melamine scare” has spread to “all products imported from China.”One lady wants to know why they aren’t speaking in terms of “probability” this time around.(Hankyoreh Geurimpan, 29 September 2008)
