The Japanese Government says today [in a small print Story on CNN.com International Edition] that it will take Nine Months to shut down the damaged and leaking Reactors at Fukushima. Again, pardon my resounding ignorance, but who the fuck decided that Nine Months of leaking Radiation into the Atmosphere [the SAME ATMOSPHERE that I happen to live in] is okay with the Peoples of the World? At least one of those Reactors has Plutonium in it, [No, this is not a new Element discovered by Disney, it is one of the Deadliest substances known to Man], and I find the attitudes of the Japanese and World Leaders leave me a little . . . ANGRY.
It is odd to me that, when Civilians in Libya were apparently being killed by Fashion Nightmare Muammar Gaddafi [apparently, there are Billions of spellings of his name], the World Community responded with Planes, Missiles, Rhetoric, and Bombs. I know that this little Nuclear Disaster only threatens to eventually kill HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF JAPANESE PEOPLE, or maybe more, and potentially others around the World via the drifting Fallout, but could we at least get the same level of Response that we got for Gaddafi?
Is there maybe some reason why the Interest in the Japanese Nuclear Disaster has died down? Could it be that the Nuclear Industry has "Ramped Up" their Lobbying Efforts around the World? We all know that they put the Interests of People and Animals and Environment BEFORE PROFITS [Don't have a Stroke, I'm being Sarcastic], but could some wires have gotten crossed and sent them into a Lobbying Panic?
It seems that most of what Nuclear Industry Officials have focused on, is the potential Liability Exposures, and how the Bad Publicity is going the effect the Industry. I can see the reason for their concern. I can't see the reason why that concern has not been more for the effects on People, Animals, and Environment. [Are these Time Travelers from "SkyNet"?]
Please be aware that reading the entire Story in Business Insurance Magazine may induce a Coma. But, scan over it and see where the main points of the Story lie. Compare this, if you can, with the type of information being presented to the World by the Mainstream Corporate Media. Do they Match? [Oh, a Game!]
If this horrible thing that is taking place in Japan is killing People right now, then something should be done. Judging by the lack of detailed information coming from Japanese and World Nuclear Energy Officials, I have doubts that we can trust them to protect the interests of World Health and Safety without being PESTERED by we lowly Potential Victims.
So, here is my worthless and ignorant suggestion for what should be done. First, write to the Following People and tell them that you are completely dissatisfied with the Japanese and World Response to the Nuclear Disaster in Japan. Express all your concerns in non-threatening language [No mention of Guns, Takeovers, Kidnapping, or Revolution--that might get you a visit from some "Men With No Names"], and ask them how you can assist them in addressing your concerns. Here are some useful Links to accomplish this:
Additionally, let me suggest that you contact a number of Nonprofit Organizations that deal with Advocating on Issues related to Nuclear Energy [Take a guess about whether or not I am going to post Pro-Nuclear Energy Links--also this list is not exhaustive--Google around for more]:
At this point, I hope you have been encouraged to put down your Beer, Wine, Cocktail, Tab of LSD, Marijuana Joint, Dildo, Bible, Gun, Porno Magazine, Sports Magazine, Fashion Magazine, Package of Goat Cheese, Tuba, iPod, Money, Penis, Vagina, Hair Brush, or whatever, and get busy contacting these People to Advocate for a Nuclear-Free World. If not, ignore everything I've said here.
I like your sardonic wit. I will share your blog with friends who also want to change the world. It is better to die trying than to sit here and do nothing.
