In reply to the discussion: EPA: Expect More Radiation in Rainwater [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)34. I heard about that on Prison Planet. That's some mundo scary stuff there.
Today I read that Bill Hicks is not really dead, but that Alex Jones took his place.
I'm not poking fun at you, but at times it's hard to tell what is true or not. Don't stop telling us what you believe is important.
For myself, I have accepted that there is no escape from some of these things. Some people are living underground as we speak for fear of it.
Whatever the truth is, things have all gotten out of control and even the government is not in change the situation one way or the other. Climate change can be addressed, but not fixed, pollutants in the air, food and water can be reduced, but not eliminated.
Yet there are ecosystems on this planet that are thriving, peoples that are doing well, even in this country. They are living as close to clean nature as they can and enjoying their lives.
The internet makes things much more intense than they appear generally, and we can be happy.
JMHO.

It's rhetorical. Do you ever post anything that adds to what we know about the BFEE, zappaman?

Like, really. Compared to three meltdowns and exposed spent fuel pools, I did a bad.
