More ignorance

I just finished reading a couple of articles that truly make me wonder..... WTFATT??????????? what the f..k are they thinking? The first article has to do with the ignoring of historical information by the Tokyo Electric Power Company. It seems that the 27 foot waves created by the recent tsunami are not new to the area. Geologists have proof that on a few occasions during the last 3000 years waves have been as high and have actually traveled further inland than the recent event. One of those events took place in 869 AD. In geological time that works out to about 5 seconds ago. The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power plant sits on a bluff 14 to 23 feet above the shore. The TEPCO said there was no way the water could rise above 18 feet. Another indication that human beings should not be in charge of building Nuclear Power Plants. Nuclear Power plants should only be constructed by beings from another galaxy. Most likely they have figured out what to do with the waste and how to neutralize any accident. WE, on the other hand, have NOT. And then the other article I read concerns the GOP and their attempts at introducing less cluttered legislation. One of the paragraphs in the article stated the following..... " House Representatives intend to advance a series of smaller bills pursuing narrower goals such as promoting nuclear power, opening up more domestic oil and gas exploration and blocking environmental regulation." I highly suggest that the previous paragraph gets read one more time. Go ahead....read it again....I'll wait. Please go back and read it one more time after you read all about the Japanese problem. I'm sorry but IGNORANCE is the only answer. And I've always heard that ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. How about for breaking humanity's spirit? IGNORANCE IS IGNORANCE and the GOP is going out of its way to prove that they absolutely are a charter member of that club. When the election starts rolling I hope people take notice of what the Republicans are trying to focus on with their small bills. Small minds need small bills. Michael Timothy McAlevey
