This piece of virtually inaccessible science fiction by a panel of judicial morons is being jumped on, of course, by Nevada's tiny segment of the domestic enemy, to squeal and scream, again, that Bush did not use true scientific reality in making his decisions on the waste dump (and thus "lied", as the domestic enemy likes to say-due to their incurable self-guilt for having blown it ALL defending President Blow Job.) Structural engineers never use any periods longer than 10,000 years, as longer periods are irrelevant to their particular discipline. Artificial structures-whether pyramids or radioactive waste dumps-DON'T NEED to last 10,000 years, and it is not inconceivable that people around in, say 6 or 7 thousand years, may be perfectly capable of taking care of radioactive waste all by themselves. (And if they can't-who gives a shit? That would mean that they accepted too many John Kerry's, and aren't worth saving. ) The MOST LIKELY scenario is that in 50 to 100 years, we will be scrambling to dig up and USE today's waste because the energy technologies will have advanced that tiny half step to the point that the stuff will meet everyone's energy needs at virtually no cost. But there is no-and never has been-a FUTURE in the fever swamps of the Marxist/Leninist domestic enemy. Their insanity represents the collective insanity that humankind has ALWAYS been in danger of sinking into-and our mission, as humans and Americans, is to STIFLE it for several more generations, while praying that our descendants will have the intelligence and grounding in principle to do the same when THEIR turn comes. WE have been left the legacy, and must REMEMBER it, so THEY can ALSO have a legacy to remember...
