    It's not even nuclear power generating fuel until it undergoes a lot of tedious processing. And it needs a lot more processing to make it weapons grade. From your reference from scribd.com: <blockquote>Israeli warplanes bombed a reactor project at the site in 1981. Later, U.N.inspectors documented and safeguarded the yellowcake, which had been stored in aging drums and containers since before the 1991 Gulf War. <b>There was no evidence of any yellowcake dating from after 1991,</b> the official said." [Emphasis added.]</blockquote> In other words, it had been sitting there unused, and with no evidence of any plans to use it, all along. Bush's claim was crap. BRITISH INTELLIGENCE got fooled and George W. Bush parroted what they said, just like any stupid wingnut on the Internet, because it helped him whip up support for the war he was spoiling for. Or maybe he thought quoting BRITISH INTELLIGENCE would cover his butt. Pretty thin coverage at best.

    I'm very happy that you are one of the few that put in while taking out. However, these are our (those of us not taking out) tax dollars being put in too, that's why we all vote together to decide. It's not that I want to tell you what to eat, but a lack of nutrition means you aren't thinking at your potential. I can tell you're very smart, and it's the people like you that I want to see benefit from this. The additives they use in crappy food are made from heavy metals and other toxins. They're actually addictive and the coal tar based dyes and flavorings cause clouded thinking. It's because they're lead based. Look up the ingredients for food dyes. They also include heavy metals and other elements to obtain the colors. Now look up the symptoms of ADHD and then the symptoms of lead poisoning. Please note what the long term affects of lead poisoning are - a lack of growth to the frontal lobe, the decision making portion of the brain. What does this mean? Take a look at the studies done on criminals in a california prison. All of the criminals that committed a violent, heinous crime had either damage or what was described as a deformity - "shrinkage" of the frontal lobe. This was not shrinkage, but rather a lack of growth. Bad food = Bad decisions.

    SCOTUS's decision reaffirms the 'chain of command' when determining discrimination, which in many ways is an issue of 'stand your ground' but is progressive, in fact. I agree with the court here, and this undermines the neo-liberal stance at the same time.
  • Reply to: A Comparison of ALEC and NCSL   10 years 10 months ago
    I appreciated your comparison of ALEC and NCSL. My state representative was a member of both, but has dropped his ALEC membership, as he found it did not meet his interests. Your comparison makes it clear why he would favor the one over the other. Thank you.
