Quote:You've captured my thoughts as well. Ask 1000 people which is more dangerous, 100 lbs of U238 or a 100 lbs of coal ash. :) Yes, it's a trick question.
I think worse than the "vast bulk of the population are blithering idiots" are the silent intelligencia who know better, but choose to remain mute for political expediency and/or perhaps to keep their grant machine flowing. All we need is more human ingenuity to find solutions, market forces to exploit those that work, fewer lazy brains taking the crap they are fed without question, and schools that teach people HOW to think rather than WHAT to think.
Frankly, I'm more concerned about the effect that fascist imbecile Chavez will have on the price of oil.
To be fair... Chavez is a socialist. I am still on the fence about slapping him with a facist tag. He's also done some good things, still maintains a rather good working democratic process for local issues that people can solve for themselves, and he was voted into power by his own people.
I am not a fan of his however. But I do admire some of his work.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
