Apologies for my above post, I had not seen the video, but on seeing it, I can only guess the lack of information in the press could if the event is being supressed, is to avoid a mass panic which will surely happen, if the press does a mental on this, as it has been known to do in the past, perhaps even the press have become aware of their responsibility and are thinking about their actions for once.
But, I was wondering, do you in America have your equivalent of the often thought to exist UK North/South divide, in that I am meaning what gets reported nationwide seems to come from certain areas whilst similarities in other areas are ignored ? I am of course thinking about the complete lack of governmental care and help New Orleans received after the natural disaster that was the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, is what happens half way across the continent of little importance or concern to what happens nearer to the Capital ?
But nuclear power, you know of course dabbling with such insiduously dangerous stuff as this was eventually going to bite us in the ass someday didn't you ? In our hunger for more and more energy to deplete our minerals and resources at a faster and faster rate, we have become greedy perhaps beyond our nature, as to look at how far we have come in under one hundred years in comparison to the age of civilisation, have we moved unnaturally too fast and too far for us and nature to handle ?
Personally, I think we need to back off a bit, use and by that generate less energy and that because the more we have, the more we seem to want ad finitum. Electricity and oil is an aid to living, but we have lived without it with some success for thousands of years, surely we should be compromising a bit more and there not putting so much damned importance in it, which of course means a return to the conservative mentalities of our ancestry, use sparingly, not party on as it seems we are doing now day after day, night after night.
The bulb that burns twice as bright lives half as long, ask yourselves, is this America and are you heading for decline faster than past civilisations, and is that anything to do with your consumption of energy ?
