Did it occur to our government of Ivy League geniuses that the people who designed and built these reactors anticipated making them secure in the event of natural disasters???

"Did it occur to our government of Ivy League geniuses"

Bingo! I might agree to a review in 6 months or so after what happened in Japan is thoughtly understood. Until then this is just grandstanding and a waste of money.

In Arizona, our Republican-led Senate just passed a budget that included major cuts across the board. This morning, I heard a Democrat lawmaker, a woman, on the radio. She whined, "These cuts are going to leave Arizona in a dangerous position. We could have an earthquake and a tsunami just like they had in Japan!"

I almost drove off the road laughing. I thought, "Sweetheart, if we have a tsunami in Phoenix, there's going to be a helluva lot more to worry about than your stupid little budget."
