Women's Institute Consulted on Nuclear Waste

Leon Stringer writes "The Guardian is reporting that the Womens' Institute is being asked for their views on the disposal of nuclear waste while senior scientists resign in protest of being ignored. What members of the public would you like to design nuclear waste storage facilities?"

Why does everybody on the left think the US went to Iraq to secure the oil? It's just such a stupid accusation. Securing the oil was why we supported Saddam when we did, not why we took him out. Apparently, only liberals taking pot shots are dumb enough to think stabilizing the oil situation is a potential outcome of going to war in Iraq. Believe me, if there's one things Republicans understand, it's oil markets and everbody in the Bush administration knew damn well that (a) during the war there would be no oil and (b) after the war there will be less oil coming from Iraq for a long time.

I'm not saying going to Iraq was a remotely intelligent thing to do, I'm just saying let's dispense with this whole cheap bullshit about oil motivating the war. It's just such simplistic college freshman politics.

Actually, it is appropriate for women to be bought into the debate. Unbeknownst to the scientific ommunity, for the past thirty years feminism has presented itself as a serious field of academia. Where not just talking about women's liberation movements, but into areas such as national security. I think that whats failing in modern scietific university courses is liberal arts issues. For example, a rigorus examination of the philosophy of scietific method would explain why ID was scietifically sound, comparable to evolution, and why creationism isn't. There is a very real importance to this article and this is news, and should inspire people to examine what's happening in the world of thought, not just science. Now, mod me down for dissenting.

Which goes to show a country's people can be absolute ass-hats, and still the country ends up doing the right thing.
