Kids working at a burger joint said pretty much the same thing.

"I just work here, man"

See, this is what Einstein was talking about. That using the same mode of thinking, man can not handle the responsibility harnessing nuclear power requires.

You have been in this business, cooking up nuclear hamburgers all these years, and knew the eventuality.

You tell us that the Fukushima radiation is "trivial", that scientists in Lithuania don't know what they are doing when they claim they found plutonium from Fukushima in Lithuania, and now "you" knew Fukushima was gonna happen all along. And then you say heck, after all, we couldn't do anything about it. Rah, rah, rah! Go nukes! More nukes! Anti nukes are crazy!

Thank gawd people like you don't have any power... oh wait, you do. Uh oh.

And you call anti-nukes the crazy ones?!?!?!?
Thanks a lot. Way to go, Pam. I hope you are proud of yourself.
