Congratulations RobertEarl.
You are one of the reasons I now say anti-nuclear activism is just another flavor of climate change denial.
Weird, because I'm an autistic spectrum Luddite who loathes everything about our high energy industrial economy, including nuclear power. But nuclear power is not the worst. Fossil fuels suck more. "Natural" gas ain't natural, it's Coal's nastier little brother. Coal will bludgeon you in a dark alley, maybe to death, but you'll see him coming. Little brother Gas will slit your throat while you sleep.
I reckon the Gorgon gas project and its sisters are among the Worst Things In this World. It sounds like a Japanese movie monster, doesn't it? Guess what, it's worse than Fukushima. Worse than Godzilla.
In my utopia people vaccinate their kids, use birth control, and don't have any reason to buy automobiles or guns.
I lived through chicken pox with many scars, and mumps fucked me up in the land down under. My mom went through some shingles of the worst sort, a knife in the eye.
Hell yes, I enthusiastically vaccinated my children, comforted in the knowledge my family has a long history of barely-to-much-less-than-functional autistic spectrum people long predating modern vaccination. It's likely a dominant gene. My autistic spectrum rocket scientist grandfather had siblings who were not functional in ordinary society. My grandfather wasn't much functional either, his personal life was always one flaming catastrophe after another. But he was a wizard with exotic metals and an engineer for the Apollo project. Landing men on the moon was his pride. He was also an Army Air Force officer in World War II but he never talked about that work. He fixed things. Many very ugly things is my impression. He could do the math.
Clearly, my university education as an evolutionary and environmental biologist has warped me.
Learning how to do the math changes a person.
