    That's the point, they talked of single payer and robust public option, but instead delivered....what? another layer to insurance, healthcare chain and big insurance cycle? And claimed it would be payed for by a certain quota of young people signing up, which hasn't happened either (so the thing will not sustain itself).

    I laugh at people who somehow imagined this would be a European style socialized medicine, ha as if!

    You seem to have no idea how reality works; instead of misconceptions you make up from you pure "book learning", in reality a lump of uranium is primarily an alpha emitter. Look it up and educate yourself. People who have worked at national labs and nuke plants, ie. me, know this. Meanwhile, you prattle on making assumptions based on half-understood freshman classes.

    not just Texas, plenty of "liberal" paradise cities in the North have rulings just like that, by scum in the pockets of large corporations.

    Wrong, you've totally confused yourself ignorning half-lives. There is a delay before the betas come out after an alpha is released, three betas DON'T imediately spring out, instead the "principal daughter" thorium-234 has a half-lift of over three weeks before beta comes out!

    http://web.ead.anl.gov/uranium...

    "Uranium and its decay products primarily emit alpha radiation, however, lower levels of both beta and gamma radiation are also emitted. "

  12. Re:Playing with mercury on 1950s Toy That Included Actual Uranium Ore Goes On Display At Museum · · Score: 1

    Did you actually read the MSDS? You'll find in the case of just swallowing mercury a big fat UNKNOWN, because as I said it get eliminated. For salts and organics, yes plenty of data and LD50. Also, inhalation of elemental *vapor* has an LD50 but that's NOT what I mentioned. Your little story of trapped metal in intestines is no more interesting than eating half pound steel chunks and causing same issue.

  13. Re:Playing with mercury on 1950s Toy That Included Actual Uranium Ore Goes On Display At Museum · · Score: 1

    You are the challenged one with reading comprehension issues. Your link talks about inhalation of vapor, but for consumption only of salts, and in fact says UNKNOWN for elemental mercury in that situation.

  14. Re:Playing with mercury on 1950s Toy That Included Actual Uranium Ore Goes On Display At Museum · · Score: 1

    Pure mercury isn't a problem.

    challenge: find any reference to LD50 of elemental mercury. You'll find plenty for SALTS of mercury and various organic compounds too. But drink metallic mercury and you'll just shit it out.

    Nope, since you're not making uranium foil most of the emitted particles in the kilo of U238 would be stopped before leaving the surface, mostly alphas which can't even penetrate your skin. We're back to order of magnititude of truckload of banana type activity.

    Such words don't apply to this scam, but when the day comesthat people can be sent one-way to mars there is no ethical problem at all. your concerns are groundless. People die all the time exploring, from free climbing to mountain climbing to rafting. Accepted risk by the participants, you have no right to project your cowardly values on them.
