It's hard to believe that it's been a year and a half. But it has. Many times I have sat down and started to write something, only to take a break and never finish what I had started. But I finally had something to say today that was more than that other outlet would let me publish.
Here goes.
The "reporting" that has been going on concerning this latest tragedy is disgusting, and perverse. ALL tv news media outlest are standing around with mouths agape, drooling shamelessly in the expectation that there will be a catastrophic nuclear failure in our beloved Japan. Where is Joe Friday when you need him? "Just the facts Ma'am, just the facts."
Fact: when Chernobyl melted down in 1986 it was designed and constructed by Communist Russia who had aboslutely NO interest in creating the cleanest and safest energy available to us today, but where solely focussed on the developement of material for their nuclear missiles. They thumbed their nose at God and he said "What did you say?"
Fact: when Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania occured in 1979, that reactor DID meltdown, but the containment vessel did it's job; radioactive materials where released into the atmosphere WITH NO NEGATIVE IMPACT. While the plant in Japan was constructed some years before TMI, it was built upon the same exacting guidelines, and to anticipate anything but the best from this situation is dispicable, especially when all the evidence that this layman has seen points to the brilliant Japanese having everything in hand.
And what is this notion that Japan, a Sovereign Nation, is not giving us enough information? It's THEIR country. They are the ones who are being directly impacted by this catastrophe. They are the ones who are best suited to deal with it, as the only country in the world who has endured first hand the destructive power of intentionally detonated weapons of mass destruction, designed to do the greatest amount of damage possible on every level of understanding. (And it absolutely boggels my mind that now they LOVE us. So much so that when the World Trade Center was blown to bits by diabolical barbarians, they flew their flags at half mast. When have we ever done that? An American in Japan asked about that, and he was told "When America weeps, Japan weeps"). Where's the weeping America?
Fact: more people have died from working in the Wind Farm industry in the last ten years than in the Atomic Energy Industry: 44 to 7, respectively. But don't take my word on these things; follow the link
