The controversy comes from the wether being a chaotic system

Having had some experiences with wethers they do, indeed behave in unpredictable ways.

The climate, not so much.

someone with her education who goes to make cheese...

I wonder if the geek would have the same sarcastic reaction if she had designed and opened a craft brewery instead of an artisan dairy --- she milks sheep not cows.

Sheep have been raised for milk for thousands of years and were milked before cows. The world's commercial dairy sheep industry is concentrated in Europe and the countries on or near the Mediterranean Sea.

The dairy sheep industry is in its infancy in the United States. There are approximately 100 dairy sheep farms in the U.S. They are found mostly in New England and the Upper Midwest. There are several large commercial sheep dairies in New York and California.

While sheep usually produce less milk than goats and much less than cows, sheep milk sells for a significantly higher price per pound, almost four times the price of cow milk.

Most of the sheep milk produced in the world is made into cheese. Some of the most famous cheeses are made from sheep milk: Feta (Greece, Italy, and France), Ricotta and Pecorino Romano (Italy) and Roquefort (France). The U.S. is a large importer of sheep milk cheeses. Sheep milk is also made into yogurt and ice cream.

Modern sheep dairies use sophisticated machinery for milking: milking parlors, pipelines, bulk tanks, etc. Ewes are milked once or twice per day.

Cheese from the ewe, milk from the goat, butter from the cow . . . Spanish proverb.

Sheep 101: Dairy Sheep

Come on. An uncover police officer was there the day before and spoke directly with Kim and could have arrested him there and then, unarmed and to chubby to run anywhere. Instead they had to go nuts with a full on assault to impress the FBI, get there pat on the butt and a promise to allow them into a US free trade agreement, good little lamb http://satwcomic.com/bedtime-drama-2.

So now have locked in your mind the image of the cute little lamb chasing around the everso naughty Kim Dotcom at the behest of a big burly US shepherd with a elastrator behind his back (the lamb not realising it is soon to be http://www.sheep101.info/201/dockcastrate.html, it's in the best interest of the shepherd of course, youch).

Madoff didn't brainwash him into committing suicide like a cult, etc. A guy made some bad business decision and decided to chicken out. Madoff was a crook, not a murderer.

Actually, yes, it was a cult. A charismatic leader, a bunch of followers trusting him with all their wealth... same kind of wolf, different kinds of sheep's clothing.

Except when the one voice of dissent is saying anything critical of the War on [ SELECT_MORAL_PANIC_TOPIC_HERE: Terror/Drugs/Child Abuse ] Then they usually get shut up by huge flocks of sheep carrying All-in-One tools: "The teeth of the All-in-One tool are used to grab the testicles after cutting off the bottom one third of the scrotum with the scissors portion of the tool." http://www.sheep101.info/201/dockcastrate.html

Baaaaah bahahah bah.
