Discouraging, I know [View all]

[RobertEarl]

Looking at the world's situation with open and honest vision is heartbreaking.

Teetering in Japan is a nuclear bomb that has the potential of making millions of square miles poisoned for centuries. It is, this Spent Fuel Pool #4, a metaphor in a way of the situation of nearly all of our complicated modern society.

Propped up, just as the economy as a whole is, it is a veritable house of cards sold to us by the "Don't worry, we know what we are doing" crowd.

The collapsing economy and this spent fuel pool are two examples of the lies told in the chase by our leaders to see who can "die with the most toys".

But it is warm out, flowers are blooming and so far, the air is safe. So there is hope, eh?
