Another WW-I Chemical Site In Washington, DC
WrongSizeGlass writes "The AP is reporting that the US Army Corps of Engineers has uncovered what appears to be the fourth major disposal area for World War I-era munitions and chemical weapons in the nation's capital. Digging was suspended at a construction site after 'workers pulled smoking glassware from the pit — preliminary tests show the glassware was contaminated with the toxic chemical arsenic trichloride. ... Workers also discovered a jar about three-quarters full of a dark liquid that turned out to be the chemical agent mustard.' Someone needs to remind our government of the meaning of NIMBY."
Why don't you go fuck yourself?
Trial lawyers all but own the Democratic party, and they're the reason healthcare has becomes so expensive the last couple decades. People like Edwards are the cream of that disgusting crop. So if you think the very people causing the problem are going to create an honest solution for it...you're nuts.

Look, if you want affordable power, we're going to have to make sacrifices. The waste has to go somewhere, and we've decided that the only fair option is for it to go everywhere. So we're gonna divide it equally among the population. We don't care what you do with it, as long as it's buried in your backyard. What's a few rads between neighbors? Hey, stop yer complaining... you won the argument and now you get what you asked for.... hey, don't blame me, I wanted to use the more expensive and cleaner energy sources, develop that technology now so it would become more affordable for our children, so they wouldn't have to deal with what we're sweeping under the rug (er, burying in your back yard). Enjoy the cheap, "clean" nuke energy!
Yours Sincerely,
The Government
The Admin and the Engineer

My healthcare is satisfied by eating clean food, exercise, not doing anything that causes bones to break, and staying away from environmental hazards created by people that want government-run Healthcare. I don't drink tapwater, I don't kiss men, I don't beat women and children, and now someone that can't even keep diseased aliens from walking across their backyard desert thinks to shove Healthcare down everyone's throat rather than nip it in the bud where the problems began.
Has anyone even read the Healthcare Bill? It's all being done through misuse of the tax code, and derives from Social Security Act and all kinds of securities fraud. It's deriving it's same enforcement through the tax code as is all the other fumbling of non-issues like gun control/registration and Right to Public Vehicular Travel.
Can't even pay for a 150 mile fence to be built near Arizona, can't even get the druglords out of the Texas Sheriff departments. It's no different than how US Congress members are the primary importers of Cocaine and Heroine only to distribute and arrest who they can entrap to buy and use their drugs so they can perpetuate that $17 trillion per year industry in seizing private property in BATFE raids.
get a life.
Hey you. Yes you, there, in the hole. Mind your head - I'm going to drop a replacement shovel to you. I reckon the old one must be worn out.
