I am very concerned due to the fact that thru out this entire event everything has turned out ten times worse than they told us it could possibly get.

I hadn't thought of that.
Better go look for my thong.

Shades of the BP oil spill, eh?


Bammy was pretty clueless and ineffective with that calamity too.

With that everyone could see the problem.
Here we keep hearing that "yeah there's a radioactive cloud, but it's OK"
Then the next day it's "maybe stay indoors"
And the next it's "RUN! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"

That's how they roll down there.

nah - I'm cool. I think people are freaking out a little prematurely about radiation in the states.

But I can't tell you how many people are panicking because of the new earthquake warnings that are rumored.

Still, I have a feeling like I'll be just fine.

I'm not taking any steps from Japanese radiation. It turns out, some radiation may be good for you:

Any cloud coming from Japan is going to be so dilute by the time it gets here, I'm not really worried about the U.S. at this point. If we actually get to a Chernobyl style burning of fuel, I'll be more concerned.

Good site for information on the disaster

I'm sorry but hormesis is complete and utter garbage. If Anne Coulter believes in it so strongly, she needs to go to Japan and sit by the reactors for a while and tell us how great it is.

She has to rush to the support of nuclear power - it is her duty no matter what the situation or the facts - and the mindless masses nod their heads in collective agreement...

yea... I love how I live in one of those big circled red zones...
Well - here's to it! I'll drink a green beer for every earthquake they predict that actually occurs...

I'm going golfing. With an :rain:
