Pony, I am not sure if comparing the populace to a beaten wife of a low level mobster really works. I see where you are coming from. But actually till recently this low level mobster would of been hated and pretty much giving to finger to everyone.
Look, nobody liked Legs. Guy's a douche. He beats his wife, all the other mobsters knew it, but he was part of the mob and they put up with a lot of shit from him. He gave in the right cut of his take, and for that the rest of the mob looked the other way about shit they don't like.
So, now, they're getting to take care of a problem they never liked anyway.
But, let's not forget these violent mobsters did let a lot of this shit slide, so long as Legs held up his end.
I also have a little lump in my throat this morning.
Fukushima gave me thyroid cancer!
Are you sure it wasn't those bananas you had last week?
Nah, they were organic.
Ohh, right, gotcha.
That reminds me. A few years ago I bought my parents a wireless router for christmas or something, and my dad said one of the reasons he hadn't bought one for himself was that he wasn't comfortable with all of those signals flying around the house. :?
What is annoying me is how a lot of groups are using the Japan thing as a launch pad for more anti nuclear tirades.
Yeah, that has been depressing to see. One guy wrote a real winner for my community's local blog. I shit you not it actually had an all italic "when will they learn?" hidden down a few paragraphs and a whole lot of hyperbole masquerading as fact.
Actually that is the other thing that has driven me nuts about liberal talk radio this last week or so. I am not a fan of nuclear power. It has its dangers like all power sources do. This one can just fuck up an area for a long period of time. Not a fan of that. But the chances of a similar incident happening in the US? You have a better chance of winning power ball twice in a row. Okay maybe a bit lower. In fact on the earthquake part the reactors worked as they were designed to. They shut down, locked down and would of had no damage if a wall of water didn't flood all the back up generators and the plant it self.
I would rather be more focused on helping the hundreds of thousands of people in the affected areas of the Tsunami and getting them food, blankets and to relatives outside the area with houses and such than being focused on Nuclear Power as the boogey man. Though I have donated money to the red cross for this, compared to other disasters the amount of funds marked for Japan and the relief in the affected areas is way lower because they are a first world country. Lets just forget that they just had an entire area wiped out by tidal wave.

Can we use Deepwater Horizon as a launchpad for more anti-oil tirades?
Hey, last September a natural gas main exploded a couple of miles from my house and killed a few people and burnt some buildings down. Can I go on an anti-natural-gas tirade?
Guess what this picture is?
Natural gas storage tanks near Chiba.
shit like this happens and nobody calls for a moratorium on fossil fuels.
But fossil fuels don't involve scary future death rays from space!

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Arch when they say that first go into that we are following UN Mandate. There are no boots on the ground.
(yes there are, no country would ever send in its planes without people on the ground providing information on all their anti-air platforms, and other key intelligence)

(Then they are mostly French boots and who cares about them.;-)) But in truth we have a ton of intelligence on Libya from years of airstrikes in the country. Military who have joined the rebels and other sources as well. But there is not an army there invading the country.

If radiation manifested as an equally deadly fire, I swear people would be more receptive to it. But as invisible cancer-death? Fuck that keep it away from my childrens.

You know if it takes an 8.9 earth quake and a fucking tsunami to almost not really melt down a nuclear reactor that is as old as my parents then I think that qualifies as a pretty safe form of energy.

It's not the facial hair, it's his strange rubbery skin. He looks like one of the puppets from Spitting Image. It's terrifying.

Yes.
But not for us.

Are you sure it wasn't those bananas you had last week?
Yes. They are about 10th in the world as far as proven reserves.
They are however a small exporter to the US. Very small.
Lybia mainly exports to European markets.
they sell mostly to europe, right?

Yarp.
Thanks.
Hence my mobster analogy.
I guess I needed it, I think I even nodded off a little while out with my friends.
No problem.
Also, that is why American oil markets have only risen slightly while European markets have made quite a jump!
Markets in action!
Ohh, right, gotcha.

Getting in a funk.
Fixed that for you.

Yeah, it was.
Not sure I like it otherwise.
Haps, that's just us being polite. It's bad form to send a guest home hungry.

Much appreciated, it saved me from airplane food.

if it makes you feel better i use those disasters as calls for moratoriums on fossil fuels!
Sit and think through what this would do the economy and functioning of a country. Then you realize why it doesn't happen.
Though man I wish it would sometimes just to wake people up.
A little bit.
Is a reasoned stepwise transition to cleaner/safer forms of power generation too much to ask?
Shit like this reminds me that as a species we're still basically mildly clever monkeys.
