This being said, allowing wierdos access to bathrooms is patently ridiculous and the states shouldn't have to say anything. Companies and organizations that clamber to crawl aboard the pervert bandwagon should be boycotted and put out of business! They're anti-decency and anti-family.
Unfortunately, the author’s choice to lead off with the bathroom cocundrum will guarantee that the rest will be ignored, especially here. Although pointig out dangerous situations involving nuclear power is probably enough to do that anyway.
The nation will recover from three nuclear disasters sooner than it will recover from the active promotion and sufferance of sexual perversion.
Tritium is a very low-energy emitter. Maybe in extremely high doses, it would be a problem, but trace amounts are hardly a worry. Tritium is the least worrisome radioisotope.
...however, according to an assessment by the New York Department of State as part of its Coastal Zone Management Assessment, contains a variety of radioactive elements such as strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and nickel-63, and isn’t limited to tritium contamination.
Okay, some of those are very high energy emitters, and can do quite a bit of physical damage, with death occurring at high levels of exposure. However, at low exposures, they are not a problem. And the blog does not say how much of each radioisotope was found; my guess is that only trace amounts, barely above the level of detection, were found. (Otherwise, they would cordon off the area until it could be cleaned up.)
Unexpected increases were detected in 19 out of 20 major types of cancer. Thyroid cancer registered the biggest increase, going from 13 percent below the national average to 51 percent above.
The problem with trying to say anything definitive based on "cancer clusters" is that, through random distribution alone, clusters happen. I read a few years ago that some agency (EPA, maybe) decided to no longer conduct investigations upon finding a disease cluster, since every investigation done to date had found the cluster due to random variability.
In any case, tritium does not cause thyroid cancer. Strontium-90 can affect the thyroid, as can any radioactive form of iodine. Leukemia is a common cancer that develops after radiation exposure, since high doses of radiation damage and kill the rapidly growing cells in the bone marrow, which produce blood.
Miami-Dade County all in a huff over leaky reactors, but totally unconcerned about the raw, untreated sewage it has been pumping into the ocean and over the Keys is all fine and dandy?
Women and Mother's have already figured this out and will make there feelings known. Target knows their wrath and the Democrats who brought us this will know it in the next ELECTION when the ENABLER doesn't get the Women's vote. DOH!
This guy writes like an a-hole. It isn’t the problems or the airing of them that irritates me.
These problems he is discussing are not new. They have been around for years. I object to the tone.
We have a lot of problems in the world. Far more in volume, and in some cases, far more in serious than these.
It is true that there are a large number of people who are distracted by shiny objects. But it is also true that there are a lot of people who aren’t. Some of us have to do things that require us to keep a lot of irons in the fire. Many people have to address various issues at the same time.
We are going to have to do that too. Because we have people in charge who hate letting a crisis go to waste. And to them, the concept of having a crisis not serve the purpose of concealing something else they are to lazy, incompetent or inept to address, is anathema, so they are going to do it regardless.
And if we don’t sensibly address the issues of uncontrolled immigration, election fraud, abuse of entitlement, destruction of the military, and hundreds of other issues that DO have importance, we are going to explode in civil conflict just as surely as one of those toxic plumes of pollution are going to spread to a water supply.
What an ass. What a blithering moron.
I disagree that the bathroom issue is distraction. Of course some might think that normalizing pedophilia is just a distraction. I don’t. It’s all part of the LGBT agenda to turn the world into one where sex with children is accepted. The APA is already working to have pedophilia reclassified from a crime to a disorder. The next step will then be to give protections to pedophiles because they are “mentally ill” and “you can’t discriminate against the mentally ill”.
So no, the bathroom issue is not a distraction. This doesn’t make these nuclear problems go away. But I think that the country can handle two problems at the same time. Maybe even three or four.
Seems like the easy answer is build new nuclear plants and shut down the old ones.
Global warming is a theory which is treated like a fact, by some, a faith by others and a theory by others. There’s no way to agree among the three. There’s no compromise there’s only one truth. It is a theory. It’s the only way a sane person can look at it. Because that’s the only truth
Nuclear power is not a hundred percent safe. That is the only way to look at it. Yo can build a plant near two or even thirteen million people some of them are never going to like it. Some will see getting out of there in a hurry as a possibility. It’s why the shoreham plant on Long Island sits unused. You can’t evacuate all of the long islanders plus manhattanites
Sanity prevailed. But in these cases the rudeness of those who say it’s safe enough prevailed. Ironically, they’re most often guys that say global warming is not true
Quit pumping out the fresh groundwater and the salt water intrusion will likely decline. Conversely, start pumping fresh water into the well, and the salt water intrusion will probably reverse.
Just think what good Obama’s $900 billion ‘Stimulus’ money could have done if it was indeed used as promised.
Remember it was going to be spent on rebuilding America’s infrastructure?
Remember Obama’s promised “shovel ready jobs” that he later joked about never existing?
That $900 billion could have rebuilt or repaired these nuclear plants, repaired roads, bridges, other nuclear plants.
It could have even built new nuclear plants to replace the generating capacity Obama killed with is NO COAL vendetta.
However- most of the $900 billion just seemed to disappear into vapor.
Or into democrat pockets and bank accounts.
But in all fairness, Obama did use a bit of it to:
- Take over General Motors
- Screw the GM stockholders out of their investments-
- Shut down 2,000 privately owned dealerships screwing the owners out of their investment
- Kill 100,00 jobs in those dealsrships
- Trash 700,000 perfectly good used cars in his 2009 Cash For Clunkers debacle
And then there was the $535 million he gave to Solyndra.
Or did it grow to $850 million as some reported.....
And the $5.9 billion the government has handed over to Tesla.....
On June 24,1984 from 10:30 to 10:45 p.m. security guards at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant near Peekskill, New York reported seeing UFO over the plant for approximately 15 minutes. It was roughly 30 stories above the exhaust funnel of one of the plant's three nuclear reactors.
UFO investigator Philip J. Imbrogno for the Dr. J. Allen Hynek's Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) in Chicago, Illinois interviewed six of the twelve security guards who saw the UFO.
The UFO, according to the witnesses was huge in size, diamond-shaped and approximately 450 feet in length. It was first white, then changed to blue to red to green to amber in color. Local police in Peekskill received numerous UFO sightings during the same evening. One of them, Sgt. Karl Hoffman said the UFO he observed included a "dozen white lights" in V-formation that slowly moved towards the power plant at Indian Point. 16
In the case of the UFO reported by security guards at the Indian Point Nuclear Plant at Peekskill investigators uncovered some interesting information.
As the UFO approached the nuclear plant it flew to within 30 feet of its Reactor Number Three. When it did the plant's security systems, shut down as did all of its alarm systems and communication systems.
Security guards were issued shotguns and were waiting for the final word to shoot at the UFO. A request was also made for an armed helicopter to come and shoot down the UFO, but before the command was given, the UFO moved away and left the area.
Carl Patrick of the plant's information office, when questioned by investigators about the UFO had this to say, "I can neither confirm or deny that the guards fired upon it, but they did what was necessary to protect the plant.

Maybe the State of Missouri can buy out Bridgeton, disincorporate it as they did Times Beach in the 80s? Build a State Park? Only co$t $250 million....then.
Author can shove the title and article where the sun don’t shine.
This common headline, or media trope, annoys me no end.
Americans are NOT "arguing over which bathroom to use". There is zero argument taking place.
What there IS is a relentless rhetorical assault on normal people and normal, ordinary perceptions of reality, which are widely shared.
"Argument" presupposes a search for truth within a common frame of reference. This phenomenon lacks a common frame of reference, there are no elements subject to persuasion or to discovery of new facts.
There is only (so far, rhetorical) warfare.
In the collapsing Roman Empire, bread & circuses kept the populace distracted. Today, it’s potties.
The author is a queer-loving doper.
I have spent considerable time on Google Earth examining the Bridgeton landfills near the West Lake landfill -- over the full span of time he claims the landfill was burning -- and there is zero evidence of a landfill fire that I can identify.
And, his Chicken Little squawks about the three nuclear sites indicate nothing like what occurred at Fukushima. There is zero indication of reactor failure.
And he, like several posters here, exhibits zero understanding of such simple facts as radioactive half-life and orders of magnitude of exposure.
This is basically an ignorant, eco-wacko screed, using irrational fear of radioactivity as an excuse to hype perversion and drug-use legalization.
IOW, it (and most of this discussion) were an absolute waste of bandwidth.
