The Perfect Plate for the Nuclear Family Car

Posted by chrisd on from the nevada-is-americas-holster dept.

In what must be a dream come true for some, Nevada has approved a License Plate commemorating the Test Site and the connections Nevada enjoys with Nuclear weapons in the United States. The Associated Press article on the subject notes that a lot of people are up in arms about the new design, as Nevada is embroiled in controversy over the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage facility. The license features an atom. a mushroom cloud as the background and the equation E=mc2 on the plate. I was unable to find a picture of the plate on the web (I saw it in my morning paper). I'm sure a picture must be on the web somewhere. I'll leave it to slashdotters to suggest the best personalized lettering for the plate. My entry: DUKNCVR?

    If you look at the objective facts, nukes actually have a pretty good record for keeping the peace: they ended one world war,

    No they didn't. The Japanese government was willing to surrender, but the US goverment wanted to scare off the Russians.

    deterred any others in the nearly sixty years since

    No again. It has maybe deterred one or two, but not all as you claim.
