They show how Oak Ridge happened, and how the clean up of the site was conducted, how the reactor was dismantled and the decontamination process was conducted. It also shows the cause of the accident, as well as exposing what measures were taken so that could not happen in the future.

Many valuable lessons were learnt, and a lot of knowledge gained. 3 people died.. about the same as one bad car accident.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c621 Tue, 21 May 2013 09:01:25 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c621
Then we attack science and try to prevent our kids from even being thought about it in the first place (like evolution, global warming, and throw sex education into there to as an area regularly censored for political reasons).

Then we start to rewrite history books in ways that largely ignore reality (like claiming Joseph McCarthy was actually a hero, because most of the people who's lives he ruined were real communists! Never mind that it was never illegal to be a communist in the first place, or that McCarthy started his communist witch hunts as part of a desperate reelection ploy, rather then an actual communist infiltration into American society like he claimed).

Then we move onto dumbing down colleges in the same way.

Is it any wonder why people keep on saying that our school/education system is going downhill?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c677 Tue, 21 May 2013 09:00:10 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c677

The US as well as engaging in terrorism as well as providing financial and material support to terrorists as they did with the IRA and the Congrats they have and continue to harbour terrorists wanted in other countries Luis Posada Car riles to name but one.

As far as WMD goes, non of the nuke poses sing nations have fulfilled or have attempted to fulfill their obligations under the non proliferation treaty which requires them to disarm something they are not even attempting to do and on which no meaningful progress has been made in the 45 years that they, including the US have been subject to that agreement.

"Someone "liberated" the gas for the backup generators "

a freaking great wave shut down the generators required to maintain the cooling ponds.

The reactors shut down safely when the quake struck, and were not damaged.

The backup generators that supplied power to pump cooling water around the SPENT fuel rods were overcome by a big wave.

If the cooling ponds were located remotely there would not have been any issues at all in Japan.

Again, how many people were killed ??

ZERO !!!!!

How many coal miners have died mining coal in the past 1 year ??? (I bet significantly more than 1).]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c594 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:52:40 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c594 If you can't take out that kind of dictator, who COULD you take out?

That can all be applied to the USA. So unless you feel other nations would be within their rights to invade the US I think you need to sit down and work this out.

The timing of the invasion was wrong, the info was wrong the only thing about it was right was the target. That is DoJ style thinking and is certainly not a valid argument for the invasion being legal.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c549 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:46:56 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/18345423136/doj-dept-education-to-colleges-start-restricting-free-speech-campus-kiss-your-federal-funding-goodbye.shtml#c549

They will be indebted to a system that made them worse off and I'm sure that a lot of people will be angry that they were used to subsidize the irresponsible behavior of a government that didn't help them out with high student loans and few houses.
