The Fukushima event is ongoing and continues to be uncontrolled. It is definitely a world changing event. There are many different types of radiation being released with different half lives. There is a story by Doris Lessing called "Report on the Threatened City". You all might want to read it, as it regards the general inability of people to adapt and deal with reality.

There is a childrens' movie called "The Last Unicorn". One of the characters is the Harpy. My daughter compared the Harpy to our nuclear power plants. The Harpy killed its "owner". People are pretending that generating energy from elements where "waste products" that will contaminate the planet with radioactivity for thousands of years is okay. This does not make sense. Who thinks this is a good idea?

This event will definitely not end all life on the planet. Life is virulent, and will adapt. I don't have that kind of
confidence for the human species, however. At the least we are degrading the environment. We are indiscriminately undermining the natural infrastructure that maintains us. All that "background radiation" is mostly from those more than 2,000 bomb tests various gleeful governments have exploded since 1945 as documented by artist Isao Hashimoto.

I think that it is criminal that the Japanese government is not protecting its people. What are they thinking?
However, this is not just a problem for Japan. It affects the world: your world, my world, our world, our childrens'
world.

Greed and selfishness seem to be the prime motivators. The ability to care about others is drowned in the current toxic values.

I have a really bad, bad feeling tonight. Just for what it is worth....I hope nothing happens, but I'm anxious bad.

The fukishima thing is hard for me to wrap my head around -know someone that really should be in the know and he says it is not that big of a deal really except for the release valve, whatever that means. He acts mad at me for worrying about it - but I know on the other hand someone else who is involved in lobbying for those stupid things, and she won't HEAR anything bad about it and called me a doomsayer for mentioning it....so I wonder how much SELLING THESE plants really affects people - like maybe the ones with the most vested interest in their own livelihoods are in denial? I hope that makes sense. I have a hard time making sense out of it.

I just know the night of the earthquake I dreamed of that schoolhouse in Chernobyl and for no other logical reason I KNEW this was going to be really, really bad. I just have this really sinky feeling tonight too....and have been feeling like something was going to break soon.

Can't figure out - now this from someone granted who gets lost in her own dreams, mind you - but what's so wrong with reality and facing it?

I know the US has radiation detectors. They know what is what.

If they don't know, fine, say so. Oh people will panic. So what? Let them. Let them ALL just panic. Oh so they will buy iodine and take too much. FINE. Heck maybe people should have been taking the iodine.

What about - ok, at least putting the truth out in Scientific American or something that the stupid people wouldn't read anyway? Or...or THOSE people some of the ones too busy trying to sell it to admit that it could kill and sicken so many?

I guess what I am saying is there's so much freaking denial. Man, this world is SICK. Science is sick.

I wouldn't call science sick, Its the Politics, Corruption and Greed of those that are funding and backing Science today that's sickening and Evil. Science in itself is a great thing. Humanity is still in its infancy mentality wise, that's what projects the evils in science. We need to further research and future outcomes and after effects of our actions.

What i mean to say is we discover new things, make use of that technology and don't think of the consequences or those behind the scientist don't care.

Fundamentally science isn't bad.

I can't wait to wash down my radiation sandwich with some ice cold radiation water.

"Would you like radiation with your radiation?"

Don't worry...It's all good!

Yeah! a bit of salt on it and it really intensifies the flavor, kinda like Accent on popcorn.

The Deepwater Horizon event/chemicals dumped into the ocean to make the oil sink was an Extinction Level Event. The Gulf of Mexico is the spawning ground for the Atlantic Tuna.

Go find the scientists that track the Atlantic Tuna via satellite and ask them if their tagged Tuna are moving anymore.


The Japanese reactors which were designed for Uranium but had Plutonium MOX fuel loaded into them is also an Extinction Level Event...for the Pacific Tuna.
