My point exactly. Each coal plant affects 10s of thousands of people every day. A nuclear reactor that has issues affects 10s of thousands of people once every 15 years or so.
I don't disagree, but which do you want to live next to? A coal plant or a nuclear plant? Coal plants spew meausrable amounts of radiation into the air every day. Nuclear plants do so only about once every 15 year or so (1979, 1986, 2011).
Did they put cracks into the containment vessel like the magnitude 9 earthquake did in Japan? That just might speed things up. I'm pretty sure even the MIT guys would agree with that.
You said the post office was mandatory. I said it was not, just enabled.
All of the items enumerated above are done because they are important. Not because they're mandatory.
The entire fucking article is about whether or not the post office is important or needed any more. And if it's not needed anymore, then the government doesn't have to do it. But you said they do because it's mandatory. Which is CLEARLY WRONG. And clearly NOT semantics. Maybe you need to go look up the definition of semantics.
You're wrong and ignorant. No where in the Constitution is it mandated.
Go read the thing before you sound any more like a dumbwit.
Here's a clue though. Power to establish != mandated.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; To borrow money on the credit of the United States; To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes; To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States; To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States; To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;
The Post Office is NOT required to exist or serve all citizens.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution says the US Gov has the power to establish Post Offices and Post Roads. It doesn't say anything about requiring it to do so.

Why do you need to keep accelerating? There's no resistance in space. See Newton's First Law.
His dream of making America not free or brave has succeeded very well though.

They weren't separate questions. I put them in order on purpose :-)

Why do they only know now?
Seriously? Everything there is totally broken. In case you forgot:

Some of the pollutants that burning coal dumps into the air? Radioactive uranium.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste
Can a containment vessel actually contain radioactive material that is in full melt down?
Has it ever been tested in real life?
Does the containment vessel have cracks?
Do those cracks lead to "the outside world"?
It's a whole lot more than one.
What a great typo.
No, it's not semantics.

Your argument is even stupider. At least I was citing facts, not putting up strawman arguments. Twice.
