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 [...] 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):
Isn’t this a sort of censorship for “insufficient ideological purity”? Seriously – while [...] As you may well know, Mr. President, “railroad” carriages are pulled at the enormous speed of fifteen miles per hour by “engines” which, in addition to endangering life and limb of passengers, roar and snort their way through the countryside, setting fire to crops, scaring the livestock and frightening women and children.

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 [...] 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. This is not an invasion of a country” In short, giving cover to the anti-democratic Saudi regime. With “freedoms” like this, who needs democracy? This may be a [...] Another reminder here that the Obama administration in the vast majority of respects is a repeat of the prior administration. The official spokesman of the State Department, P.J. Crowley is forced to resign due to this completely true statement: “What is being done to Bradley Manning is ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid on the part [...] Today the middle-east is learning what we have always claimed for ourselves: “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute [...] Democrats in Congress are not known for their shrewd negotiating ability.
