The 'Too Cheap To Meter' was a lie that everyone wanted to believe. That's how you sell a lie. Tell people what they want to believe. Just like we all wanted to believe that Fukushima couldn't happen. But it did.
It was a lie like Bush told the country about Iraq. No, he didn't come out and say it, but it was the idea that if we didn't beat the shit out of Iraq first, they'd beat us up one day.
I bet Bush learned how to lie by watching how the nuke industry sold us on nukes being safe and cheap. The lie about it being 'Cheap' was just that. A lie. I notice you aren't saying nukes are cheap. Right?
