Ok, under believer-You are looking for a war when there is not one.
Calling my post bogus is your opinion just as it is my opinion that "If we never had to have another human go through what these people have had to deal with, I would give up all comforts of life. Hell, I don't even know if any of my comforts of life would qualify as anything that the production would cause anything like this." That is my opinion and feelings. Will this happen? Can I go live in a cave? Is it realistic? Probably not. Taking a post that makes us aware of human stupidity and turning it into a rant on nuclear whatever the f*** you are trying to make it is your prerogative; I just was just showing you something that bothers me. I realize that technology has made a vast amount of lives lived possible.
By showing this huge accident does not by any means negate Holocaust, or Hiroshima or freaking Bush and his personal war. Retreating from technology is not possible at this point and healing these poor people is not either. So really what is your rant? Because I chose to comment on this corner...this portion of the world...does this automatically make you think I am as simpleminded as to leave the rest of the motives, intent, plausibility and all of the intricacies out of my mindset? For simplicities sake I chose to comment on just this part. Just this. Perhaps you do not know me well enough to know that I actually had a lot of the Hiroshima incident in my head when I wrote, "doing something for the sake of seeing if we can do it". If I am not mistaken we did not have to do any of that. It was stated to the president that it was not at all necessary. That was truly a case of doing something just to see if we could do it.
I feel you have taken a sentence and made a freaking novel out of it. Just the opposite of the awareness that I was hoping to bring into this post. This is not all about nuclear power. I think on a different page than you such as I could go into all the ins and outs of each issue you bring up. Really, I was speaking more of the pain that I feel for these people and how if I had to give most all back I would so that these people would not have to go through all of this. Furthermore, I take photos. I surely would not wish disaster for the sake of a photo. But as it stands disaster is going to happen. Life will hurt. People will continue to do what they do. I would like to bring these images to the people so each person seeing it can change what they can to better their portion of the world. Obviously there may only be a few in this whole board that could even be near enough to do anything first hand for these children of Chernobyl or in assistance to the direction of nuclear energy.
Having a relative recently ex relative responsible for the maintenance of the cores of nuclear plants, I would say from many a night talking with him...the worse has not come yet and the debate on energy and sources could go on forever...and in this house it has. I, the point of this post was on a whole different page than you read it as. But same as the Bible…..It was there for you to take and you were correct to take it as you did and so were the people who chose not to....so....what can I say? To each his own fight or not. I personally was not up to yet another fight on nuclear plants and energy. I was up to the skills and heart the photographer has. I was up to the people that care for these kids. I was into the life these children and the families of them lead. I was more into what an awful accident this was. I was not into the Three Mile Island debate and the difference in the regulated and unregulated differences in the Russia we knew and where it is now. Just a glance back. Jus a reminder that this happens and we all need to watch what we do. Be aware and not in the aware bystander who does not give a shit.
Do I want to go back to the triangle shirt coat fire and all of the horrors such an unregulated world brings. Do I want to go back to a coalminer’s life? Do I want to go back to my own step dads mercury poisoned system and all the crazy ass shit he pulled because of the things that were not watched?
Or do I care to live in my other step dads world that makes clean up and prevention plans for oil and natural disasters for Shell oil and such like companies. I say seeing we cannot all go live in the simple world and if we did we would be right back where we were before with bodies burning and epidemics and all the things that come with it all. Heck while we are at it I am sure a few of us could use leaches and lobotomies and bleedings all around. Let us work more wise and aware. That is all.
Can we not talk about my opinion without attacking my integrity? My feelings are not bogus but the fact that you would have a knee jerk reaction and go on a rant about Adam to Armageddon is in close resemblance to a "blind mans charge." Why attack opinion or feelings. These are the most human and personal of things and although misguided at times and open to change, everyone has one and each according to how they arrived there has their own and each according to themselves is correct.
Jeez. Who are you fighting?
