Certainly it's an issue when people complain about Obama reducing nuclear arms (which is actually just reaffirming a 2000 treaty).

Thank you.

Every day thousands of cargo containers just roll right in. If I dwell on that, it scares me.

Many of enemies, the people who hate us, have placed a greater value on the next life than on this one.

The missile reductions are new, although a continuation of the start agreement.

Folks are concerned that we have nukes for deterrent. But nation-states aren't the risk anymore.

Yet we maintain rhetoric and policy as if we are still in the cold war. It's a dangerous delusion.

There is also a danger of a nuclear attack by terrorists, i think this would more likely be in terms of a suitcase bomb, or something like that.

not with WTO- GATT- and the like.

What will worry solve- it aint like the grid is gonna listen to yous.   No.  The grid eats and consumes war-- and soon it will all be on drones- connected to your front door.

This is all fine and dandy as long as my backyard is not turned into a nuclear waste storage site. From what I understood we have offered to take the waste from Europe and Russia and store it here.

One of the very big drawbacks of nuclear power is the radioactive waste and its half-life. It is dangerous and expensive to store and I wonder if we are going to be compensated for doing it?

And do we want such dangerous materials concentrated in our country for thousands of years.

Would it not be better to stop nuclear power production until new technologies for productions and disposal of waste is developed?

Allah, and Jesus, don't DO business.

They welcome you to a well earned eternity.

No---we will continue what we've been doing, reprocessing it for use in nuclear power plants.
