Damn, I hate it when someone tells us not to worry about something

Nuclear plants need scrutiny, not hysteria

"Right now the plants are safe."

That's what the chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said of the two nuclear power plants along the Missouri River in Nebraska after recent flooding. There have been no "nuclear releases." Vital systems to ensure safety are protected. Flood waters are not expected to become unmanageable.

Gov. Terry Branstad* said that state officials are monitoring the plants and that the public should not worry.

Yet some people worry.

------------------------------------------

Instead of this crap how about having a news conference where we can get some questions asked and answered? Just tell us exactly what is going on. Is that too much to ask? I would feel a lot better about that.

Well now, it's like, real hard, to take the concerns of someone seriously, who eats tacos with a spoon.

*The lurking primitives might misunderstand this here; Branstad is governor of Iowa, not of Nebraska.  In case the primitives don't know, the flooding Missouri River separates Nebraska from Iowa.  The nuclear power plants are on the Nebraska side.

Oh yes - let us hear them stammer and stumble through their explanations from real reporters asking really intelligent questions.

I've resigned myself to the fact that they ain't gonna tell us ish until after the fact, Chernobyl/Fukushima-style.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

These morons just want to stir up shit because Japan, who happen to be on an earthquake zone, have had problems. We knew this was goin' to happen. The earthers are goin' to use every excuse to keep us from using cheap power!
