Well put. So sick of republican word salad - the same dish we get served that explains who is responsible for every mess we are in right now. When you hear our fine president spew on about "accountability" and you see the crap going on, like enron, like iraq, all nicely buried in a mountain of meaningless words, it just makes me sick.
This is not what they taught us that "accountability" was at West Point.
I'm starting to think that some of those guys have never been held to account even once in their sorry, protected, slimy lives. I'd love to be there when, just once, if it would ever happen, that they would be held "accountable". In the real world that we real people live in. Lay was so worried about being held accountable that it killed him. Guess he was out of practice.
I was working at Fermilab when they made the Main Injector, a new ring whose job is to feed the Tevatron to improve it's luminosity. In part of the main injector (opposite the point where the protons are shaved off and sent across to the Tevatron if I remember correctly) they take some of the protons onto another path that dives down into the earth, hits a target to create nutrinos... just an huge tunnel heading down at a few degrees, aimed at the detector. It was very strange to think that those could go through the earth and show up at a mine so far away.
There was a bit of a race with other detectors to be the first to detect nutrino mass... good to see that those guys have accomplished this.
