I try to read all the messages about Fukushima, but I don't know enough about the subject to really discuss the implications of the data.

I feel about it the same way I feel about global climate change - there is not much I can do to alter the course that our planet is headed. It sucks but events are in motion and since the powers that be chose not to change things there is nothing I can do as an individual.
