From this ABC news article: Fukushima’s operator TEPCO said the water seeped out from the turbine building of reactor No. 2 and was found in a trench. It was discovered to be highly radioactive, being measured at 1,000 millisieverts per hour – a dose that can cause temporary radiation sickness with nausea and vomiting for [...] One thing that really annoys me about those in the nuclear industry is statements like these: “Ocean currents will disperse radiation particles and so it will be very diluted by the time it is consumed by fish and seaweed, and even more by the time they are consumed by humans. There is no need to [...] 10% of us lack jobs and 16% of us lack health insurance, but hey:
even Dunkin’ fucking-Doughnuts has a drive through. Gotta have your priorities I guess. I’m a little hesitant to quote something that says (essentially), “Conservatives are X”, but this quote from Alan Wolfe’s, of the Washington Monthy’s, “Why Conservatives Can’t Govern”, does seem to express what I have seen “in action” of the conservative mindset well (particularly the leadership): “Conservatives, from the days of Machiavelli to such twentieth-century figures [...] Via Robert Reich, how is it different for Maine Governor Paul LePage to remove murals of commemorating the state’s labor movement because (according to his spokesman) they were: “not in keeping with the department’s pro-business goals.” and (from WikiPedia):

The Almighty certainly [...] So I go to my iGoogle RSS feed page and see: That’s like saying, “Fewer murdered than by Stalin” – I mean it could be bloody anything but still horrific. For all we know there might have been less radiation released at the bombing of Nagasaki than Chernobyl. Definitely a “Bear Shits In Woods” [...] Regarding the financial crisis – Anne Héritier Lachat, president of the Swiss Financial Markets Supervisory Authority, via SwissInfo.ch: “No, it is not over. And it’s difficult to say it in Switzerland where the general situation is better than elsewhere. But there is still the problem of the debts of neighbouring states, the problem of risks [...] While I’ve gone through phases, for most of my life if been conditionally pro-nuclear. That is “pro” if: They can make general operation safe. They find a solution to the waste. In all honesty they’ve never been able to execute the later, so it has sort of been moot to me. On the other hand, [...] As Saudi Arabia moved into Bahrain to squelch the pro-democracy movement, the United States was very quick to announce: “We’ve seen the reports that you’re talking about.
