Well, the Japanese government lied to the World, they are overwhelmed by the disaster
and vacillation will probably cost thousands of lives, more years from now due to radiation exposure. Just like the heros of 9/11 who died years later from toxic exposure.


And for what?


To save face?

3. Maintenance is a budget priority.... Remember when the republicans skirted
that issue in Bachman's state... The bridge collapsed.

4. Corporate valuation to it's stockholders...
Rebuilding is costly and doesn't produce quarterly dividends.

The entire charade thus far has been an attempt to save the plant for future operations.

BP did the same thing in The Gulf last year.

8. Like our Govrnment and the Gulf spill.
I have wondered why those parallels have not been pointed out.

10. Numbers don't really matter.
It's the smokescreen between elected officials and the electorate.

I don't trust any of our elected leaders.
