21. Where is the common sense factor?

Record levels of radiation? Next to ocean water? Doing nothing to contain the mess? When are we going to learn to stop building nuclear reactors and destroying our planet and humankind? Are we going to wait until the oceans glow at night and all humans have cancerous tumors? It just amazes me that we have allowed this to happen with no consideration as to the risks of a blown reactor. A good offense starts with a good defense. We, as humans, planned for no defense. When they went to the drawing board when first building a nuclear reactor, was our answer "A major catastrophe will never happen? Therefore we do not need address a disaster?" How stupid was that?
