JAPANESE NUKE SITES THREATEN UNITED STATES

The nuclear problems in Japan could adversely affect the United States. Radiation is being leaked into the atmosphere. The prevailing winds blow from west to east. The U.S. is in the path. Radiation can mix with rain and permeate streams and lakes and affect wildlife and humans. Radiation leaks from underground nuclear tests in Nevada are known to have caused an increase in cancers in Utah, Wyoming and points east in a widening plume, mostly through milk from cows.

COMMENTS:

Everyone is currently saying, “Don’t worry about it, it’s not radioactive enough to do any damage.” It seems to me that’s what they were saying in the 1950’s and 1960’s, at the height of the U.S. nuclear program. I don’t know that we should panic, but we certainly need to be aware.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Did I hear correctly, that Bill Clinton has come out and knocked Barack Obama? (Milo ~ Des Moines, WA)
A. Yep. Former Presidents Bush and Clinton were speaking at a recent closed meeting. Bush was talking about oil policy and Clinton chimed in that delays in issuing gulf permits to drill are ridiculous, given the current state of the economy and the energy problems. You don’t suppose Hillary is getting ready to run against Barack in 2012, do you?

Q. Did I hear that the state of Illinois is going to publish the names of every gun owner in the state? (Chris ~ Alhambra, CA)
A. Yes. To legally own a gun in that state, you must have an identification card. The attorney general is asking for the list to be published, which is an outright invasion of privacy. The reason is, obviously, that they want anti-gun organizations to be able to individually go after every gun owner to intimidate them. In the meanwhile, of course, I’d be willing to bet that not one Illinois criminal has one of those identification cards. Not one.

Q. Are the Tea Parties still a viable political force? (Celeste ~ Elk Grove, CA)
A. Yes, and they’re getting stronger. Now, they’re targeting not only national issues, but state issues as well. As a matter of fact, one way to clear out a Congressional hearing is to walk in with Michelle Bachman.
