I am mad as hell, and I am
not going to take Mitch McConnell anymore.
Mitch McConnell, the Prince of Fools, is quoted today as saying, "we
shouldn't base our energy programs on what happens in Japan". Why the hell
not, Mitch?! Does a major earthquake and a tsunami wave traveling at the speed
of a jet need to smack you in the head to get a point across?
What makes you think that what happened in Japan can't happen here?
Geologists in the state of Washington have discovered indications in substrata
sediment of major quakes that have happened in the past. The states of Washington and California have nuclear reactors built on fault
lines, as do other states.
Radioactivity released in Japan can travel to the United States easily since
weather moves from West to East . Radioactivity released in California
and Washington state can easily travel to Washington DC and all the
places in between just as easily. Get a clue Mitch!
Like an ostrich with its head in the sand so I can't see approaching danger,
Mitch McConnell disregards the fact that cesium released into the air is
dangerous for 600 years. Should we take that chance that an earthquake can
affect our nuclear reactor program? Of course, if you're a Republican who has
bought into the nuclear reactor business model, and taking contributions from
the nuclear reactor industry it's easy to see how you could want to bury your
head in the sand, Mitch.
And if there is a nuclear problem here, you might have to. After all,
radioactive cesium is only dangerous for the first 600 hundred years or so.
Mitch, you're a dinosaur. Stop trying to make everyone here be as extinct as
one.
Most of the people here, being liberals, my comments are like preaching to the
choir. But all of you have friends who probably disagree with me. Remember friends
don't let friends vote Republican.
And while I have your attention Mitch, instead of balancing the budget on the
backs of people who can't afford it how about taking a pay reduction, a
retirement reduction (a congressman gets 50% of their income as a retirement
package), and take a cut on your health care, like you're making us do.
