Has any of these brain surgeons who decided on Nv for nuclear waste, taken into consideration that Nv has gone from having not only rare but distant desert rumbles caused by earthquakes, but they have shorten in time span, and are becomeing more severe doing damage to quite a few properties.  Shouldn't it be of some concern that it may be possibe our buried waste could somehow surface? If they say no, or it wouldn't be a big deal, do we believe them.? Of course they would never lie to us? Why are we letting them take advantage of our ignorance? Or am I out of the ball park? Just curious.

Until we have better technology that can produce energy from nuclear fission without such long-range toxic side effects, we are behaving even more selfishly than we are about the national debt. The national debt will be a problem that will have to be solved only two generations from now. Nuclear waste will remain toxic for in excess of 90,000 years. Even if Yucca Mountain is not completely eroded away in 90,000 years, how arrogant is it to think that the three-headed superchild/puppy hybrid that digs it up will have any idea what language English is, and will be able to read the sign that says "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL X-MAS YEAR 93,502!"\n\nBut then, supply side economics gives incentives to make money right now, not to invest for a future beyond five years from now. You have to break some eggs to make an omelet, especially when the secret ingedient is Strontium 90 with just a dash love and a hint of MSG!

What sort of time frame did you have in mind?  I'd like to know because I'd better be moving to higher ground.  \n\nUsually I don't bother with this sort of thing, but the recent hurricane season has got me thinking that something is up.  \n\nThanks for the warning! \n\nCheers!

I think this one is very good.. We had a huge debate on this one in 1 of my college classes,\n\nSpotsylvania county VA prostitution and dirty cop tactics.. \n\n\nSPOTSYLVANIA, Va. - The sheriff said Friday he will no longer allow detectives to receive sexual services while investigating suspected prostitution after they spent $1,200 at massage parlors last month and sparked a public outcry. \n\nSpotsylvania County Sheriff Howard Smith defended the practice as necessary to obtain a conviction but told his department he was suspending it.\n\n"As sheriff, I understand the feelings and concerns the citizens of this county have expressed," Smith said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Friday. "And I empathize with those feelings. Because of the public's express response, I have suspended this practice."\n\nCourt documents show that four times last month, county detectives allowed women at Moon Spa to perform sex acts on them — once leaving a $350 tip. A total of $1,200 was spent during the visits, Smith said. He said multiple visits were necessary so detectives could build trust with the operators.\n\nDetectives shut down Moon Spa last month. The two suspected operators and three women accused of working there face several charges, including prostitution and sodomy, Smith said.\n\nSmith maintained the sexual contact was necessary to obtain a conviction. But law enforcement officials say undercover officers only need to get an offer of sex for money to move the case forward.\n\nThe practice has been used in Spotsylvania since at least 2003.\n\nEarlier this week, Smith told The Washington Post that sexual contact is needed during the investigations because most professionals know not to say anything incriminating. And conversation is difficult, he said, because masseuses at the Asian-run parlors in the northern Virginia county speak little English.\n\nBut several members of Spotsylvania's Board of Supervisors have spoken out against the methods used in the investigation.\n\n"All of us ... have been worried about this episode tarnishing the county and making us a laughingstock of the nation," board chairman Henry "Hap" Connors told the AP Friday. "That's why I came out early on and asked the sheriff to cease using these tactics."\n\nSpotsylvania Commonwealth's Attorney William Neely said he respects Smith's decision to end the practice, but refused to apologize for the officers'

We have had some problems with it in the Bay area. Something to do with leaking cavity fluids, or the like. Legislation was proposed. I do not remember if there was any outcome, or not. It has been a while and I was not paying strict attention, as I am a living organism sort of guy.

Doesn't it seem as if people cling to their beleifs so hard, they will refuse to acknowledge anything that might question that? I mean, what if you found out that your Mom was a crackwhore for the first half of her life and you were the offspring of her pimp? (no offense to any mothers. This seems to be the case. besides, those 2000 year old beleifs, were the beleifs for 2000 years. This Da Vinci schmuk has just surfaced as a new beleif that can be considered by the mases. Or is it... global warming? I haven't read the book nor seen the movie, but I am familiar with the subject matter through schooling. When in school, or watching a movie that makes you think, it is enlightening. If we did not question things, there would be no need for Jesu, right? Why stop questioning now. I apologize, but it seems this Da Vinci controversy has surfaced the weakest of humans and found great fault in religion just by questioning it, whether true or not. The uproar confirms this. And for the twist... I agree with the author of this question, maybe not in the exact same sense. But I am God folks, not the one you all know, but my own. Think about this concept! What does God do for you? What is his purpose? Can these things be accomplished by yourself? It can be done.

I want to be cremated and made into an artificial coral reef.  It's giving something back and seems lovely to me.\nThe body has no purpose after death so it's a waste of space and resources to be buried.  I've instructed my family and friends to contact these folks: http://www.eternalreefs.com/

notice how no one has answered...\n\nthat means there is no legitimate info to back up a viewpoint that involves wasting energy (notice how i've omitted "conservative" because that would mean they would "conserve" something!)

Ahh, to be young again.  I remember days like this but someone usually stepped in to assist or break it up.\n\nIn this video, people just continue about their business, like there is nothing unusual happening!  I am saddened that the world has come to this.  This (our young adults) is our future and it appears that they are a bunch of uncaring morons!!!\n\nAnd that someone would record this and laugh and not try to stop it???\n\nApparently, past values have no place in this world!  We, as a people have learned little!\n\nAnd these are the people who will lead the world in the future???\n\nI am deeply saddened as you, too should be!\n\nIMHO,\n\nThe Ol' Sasquatch Ü

Nuclear energy is not "cold", I am not sure what you meant by that.  The whole principle of how muclear energy is used to generate electrcity relies on the fact that it gives off a lot of heat.\n\nIt is also not too clean either.  The depleted nuclear waste posses a problem of where to dispose of it.  It will stay radio active for hundreds of thousands of years, so whereever you put it it needs to be out of the way and secure.  Right now, the government is planning to store the stock piles of nuclear waste deep underground under Yucca Mountain (in Nevada I think), but there is a lot of debate over this.\n\nAs for sustainable, perhaps not in the long run.  There is only so much fissionable material on Earth, it will run out eventually just like fossil fuels.  A more long term nuclear energy sourse would rely on fusion, not fission, but this has yet to be practical.

Nuclear energy was originally designed to kill. It got the USA out of WW11 sooner than most expected. It has been killing ever since. Did you know we have not built a new Nuclear Power Plant in app. 30 yrs. why? It's a detrement to society. Do you want a Nuclear Waste Storage Facility in your backyard? No, of course not. Iran for that matter I believe NO Country should be allowed to ever build anything again that creates Radioactive Waste. Did you know your Microwave is Radioactive? Try taking one to the scrapyard. Most scrapyards have Geiger Counters in place now days. Why can't we all ride the green wave? Solar,Wind,Wave Action. To most people it's still a novelty but one day it will be common-place if we can keep the powers that be from destroying this Planet we call Home.Think GREEN! Peace to all.

Good grief -- I've only been visiting this site for a month, and this is about the fifteenth time someone has asked this same ludicrous question.\n\nYes, we landed on the moon. \nYes, we went back several times. \nYes, we left things on the moon that can still be seen today. \nYes, we left a flag on the moon -- but it wasn't flapping in the breeze in the famous photo: its momentum after being unfurled has kept it moving in the absence of anything to slow it down.\n\nYes, we brought back samples of dust and rocks that have been studied for nearly 40 years. And there's nothing like them anywhere on Earth.\n\nNo, we haven't gone back since the landings because there are no economically viable reasons to do so in this modern era of cost-effectiveness and the bottom line driving science. But just because we haven't been back doesn't mean we were never there in the first place.\n\nThe U.S. was in a major competition with the Soviets to prove our scientific superiority. If we'd never landed on the moon, and it was all a sham, do you think the thousands of NASA employees would be able to keep the secret? Do you think every other nation in the world would remain complicit in the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated"?\n\nIsn't there a FAQ on Yahoo Answers that could put this baby to rest??  I can't believe that people still think this was some kind of hoax!

One man out of thirteen survived this tragedy.  I call this a tragedy because the officials could have acted an awful lot faster than what they did in getting the others out.  In fact, it was in the newspaper today about how one of the miners that died kept a running diary while trapped for over twelve hours until he finally died.  Granted, they were of varying ages, but that should not have made any difference.  They should have ALL been out in a matter of a few hours, not a few days.  I blame the mining company in part because of the inaccessibility to the mine shaft and the mine itself.  One way out of this thing?  PLEASE!  If the mine was built in recent years, I would think that a second exit would have been put in.  The mining company did not see to this, and so I blame them.  ALSO...the town should NOT  be paying for their funerals, the mining company should be footing the ENTIRE BILL!!!  As for the mayor...who knows?  Not me.

BAD TIDINGS LIBERAL PUKES: Fox just released a VIDEO OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR BLANCO TELLING FEMA/OFFICIALS THAT THE LEVEES HAD *NOT* - REPEAT *NOT* - BEEN BREACHED.\n\nNow you can go ahead and IGNORE this post or just pull it off the board quickly - but DON'T YOU ALL REALLY JUST FEEL STUPID AS HELL???\n\nBTW... I think BUSH is a TOTAL MORON - but he's still SMARTER than YOU BUNCH of "INTELLIGENCIA."\n\n********************\nstellry: By all means let me answer your question. I honestly DO believe that Bush is an IDIOT who has surrounded himself by IDIOTS. HOWEVER, I'm 56 years old, former 101st Airborne, 100% disabled Vietnam vet and a newspaper writer that spends probably three hours minimum easily EVERY day going through different sites and news services trying to compare sources and ferret out the TRUTH behind stories.\n\nNow look at the vast majority of respondents here. They TOTALLY IGNORE FACTS (Like the Blanco tape) and CHANT LIBERAL ZOMBIE-LIKE MANTRAS INSTEAD. The *TRUTH* means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to THEM. There's no sense of balance. There's no QUESTIONING the PARTY LINE. There's only LEMMING-LIKE CONFORMITY and the commonality that virtually NONE of THEM have PAID THEIR DUES in EXPERIENCE, RESEARCH NOR COMMON SENSE. \n\nIn short, they have been spoon fed PROPAGANDA by public schools and colleges to the point where they are as rabidly endoctrinated as the Hitler Youth. They are OBLIVIOUS to REALITY. When confronted with TRUTH and REALITY, they simply IGNORE IT.\n\nNow, are YOU AWARE that FEMA and the FEDS *CANNOT* ENTER A STATE UNTIL THE GOVERNOR *REQUESTS* THEM TO DO SO?\n\nIf so, WHAT does it MEAN when Governor Blanco was NOT REQUESTING FEMA ASSISTANCE and TELLING EVERYONE (ON CAMERA) that THE LEVEES were INTACT after the hurricane came ashore?\n\nI've answered YOUR question - now can you answer mine?\n*************\n\n3-4\nYou appear open minded and I'm appreciative. Honesty is the only way we come together to identify and solve problems.\n\nWhat I have asked of you is WHERE is your INDICTMENT of Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin? However guilty/incompetent/complicit Bush and his adminstration may be - both Blanco and Nagin were *EVEN MORESO*. So how can you bypass the *CAUSE* while only blaming the *EFFECT*?\n\nDon't misunderstand me. I think that FEMA and the Feds are criminally incompetent - but they COULD NOT ACT without BLANCO's REQUEST which she herself delayed because she believed the levees had held. Blanco is EVERY BIT as INCOMPETENT, DISHONEST and WORTHLESS as FEMA - and probably MORESO. So why wouldn't/shouldn't your question be:\n\n"GOVERNOR BLANCO knew what Katrina would be like and yet did nothing to help people and waited too late to request FEMA help. She even lied she didn't know about it." (?)\n\nFair enough?\n\n**************************\nBRAVO!!! THAT is *EXACTLY* what I was HOPING you would say!\n\nWhen TRUTH WINS, we ALL WIN.\n\nThank you for restoring some semblance of my faith in humanity.

I just recently watched a program on the Discovery channel and has been researched as a site of the world's largest mega volcano's... and has been deemed to be getting ready for another huge explosion which could change the whole planet as we see it. Although it does look interesting to look at Old Faithful the famous geyser, it is also one of the most dangerous sites and I wouldn't want to be near it when it does erupts.

This is one of those nutty conspiracy theories.  The satellite photo was takeng the day after the attacks.  It doesn't show much of anything that you can distiguish in any detail.  For all we know, they could have hauled debris away that might have hampered rescue efforts.  Who knows how much of the debris might be in the building?\n\nThe second photo was taken 3 days after the attacks.  Again, debris could have been removed to safety reaons, etc. And it isn't a vgood picture.  Debris could be in areas not shown on the photo like the courtyard area.\n\nThen of course there is the security tape showing the crash.  There is nothing new here, this is just someone who has too much time on their hands.\n\nAdded:\n\nYour question was "try this out and comment".  You posted a link to inconclusive photos that could be interpreted any number of ways.  You try to point to some vague conspiracy and a cover up with no supporting evidence.  How do you think people are supposed to react?  You ask where the wreckage is and I provide a number of plausible explanations that you chose not to ignore and not to analyze.
