Why we should listen to the 97%

[PMZ]

You said we have a hard time keeping fissile material from terrorists.

Like so many of your claims, ridiculous.

Rediculous only if you are not smart enough to worry about nuclear terrorism.

You must think that spent fuel is more secure in pools at dozens of reactors around the country, instead of reprocessed and consumed in the reactor.

It is if it hasn't been reprocessed.

How toxic? Any numbers?

One thousand of a gram will kill you instantly. One million of a gram will kill you in 5 years.

I did a paper on it in college.

One milligram where? Lung, stomach, bloodstream?

Yes.

They are running from the truth but can't hide their ignorance. They were promised that they'd get their way by the cult leaders. That was only one of the things that their leaders lied about.

2013 conflict in Syria blamed on drought caused by global warming ? Flashback 1933: ?YO-YO BANNED IN SYRIA ? Blamed For Drought By Moslems? | Climate Depot

Notice the use of "Moslem" instead of "Muslim" (as if copycats who go on the Internet are capable of noticing anything they are not told to notice). "Moslem" was the word used in Old School days.

You can memorize every word of 1984 and not be capable of recognizing that this is the real-life version of Newspeak, which our ruling class started implanting in the 1960s. In this case, they wanted us to take a different attitude towards their OPEC allies and discredit any history dealing with Moslems by changing words. Also, we have to kowtow to these foreigners from now on and use the names they demand we use.

Why do you think the 1% even allowed us to read 1984 at all? First, because they wanted us to think it was only about Communism, though Orwell himself was a Socialist. Second, because they knew that, by dumbing us down, they could cripple our ability to make analogies, so if they don't indoctrinate us into using the exact words of the novel's Newspeak or have TVs everywhere telling us that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, then we wouldn't notice how our mind is being pushed into the direction our self-appointed rulers want us to go. And we are taught to think that it has to be the same process, when just the act of us watching TV so many hours from childhood on makes us passive, no matter what the content. Likewise, with the Matrix, we can't make the cognitive transition from a false real life being put into our heads in the Matrix and false conclusions being put into our heads in real life, such as that 9/11 meant Attack Iraq as the logical retaliation.

You can bet that every card carrying Communist in the world became so by falling for a slick sales pitch showing how Communism would make their personal life not so miserable.

Just like the card carrying conservative, here.

Power is very seductive, so empowering folks to impose what's good for them on others is an easy sell to those unable to grasp the big picture.

We are protected from both communism and conservatism here by democracy but only as long as we maintain an adequately informed electorate. Support education. Support science. Support a legitimate fourth estate. Resist gerrymandering and voter suppression. Get the Grover Norquists and Karl Roves and Donald Trumps of the world out of DC.

You can thank our anti-democratic Sacred Cow Constitution for that. It was written behind closed doors by slick lawyers for the 1% of that time, ratified by the state legislators representing only their own states' 1%. The people never voted on it, just like we don't vote on Amendments. Notice how the Right Wing scribbling prostitutes for the plutocracy are the ones who worship it the most?

Thank god the vast mass of numskulls weren't allowed to have any say in the Constitution. If they had, the US would have descended into chaos 100 years ago.

BTW, thanks for announcing to the entire forum that you despise the Constitution.

Well, we do have the bill of rights in it.

Almost, anyway.

Sort of, but it's for corporations, now too, thanks to the Roberts Court.

Well, maybe.

Certainly you're right that the wealthy white educated males who wrote the Constitution favored themselves with a grand plutocracy in the fashion of those days.

But we, the people, over the next 150 years turned it into a democracy. Then insisted that all citizens have equal rights under the law.

Conservatives want to undo what we, the people did.

The answer is no.

I've always thought of Alinsky as the Rush Limbaugh of his time. Certainly a different constituency, a different media, a different worldview and a different motivation, but the same message. Take what you want and it doesn't matter how. You are entitled.

Alinsky organized people face to face at the city level, and Rush impersonally over the radio at the national level, so has had a much broader reach.

Both did a lot to damage the country.

Gee dad, that's a strange question. Science always matters. It's always a revelation about the truth of the universe. How can that not matter?

And it leads to solutions. Humanity doesn't have to just accept problems. We can solve them. How cool is that?

Progress.

Plutonium is the by product of nuclear reactors. It is one of the most toxic substances known to man. It takes a hundred thousand years to break down.

How toxic? Any numbers?

One thousand of a gram will kill you instantly. One million of a gram will kill you in 5 years.

I did a paper on it in college.

According to this guy, you should have failed.

The dangers of plutonium are analyzed in detail in a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Report that is available on the web at www.llnl.gov/csts/publications/sutcliffe/118825.html. Here are the key facts:

Plutonium is toxic both because of its chemical effects and because of its radioactivity. The chemical toxicity is similar to that of other "heavy metals" and is not the cause for the widespread fear. The dangers are different for ingestiion and for inhalation.

Ingestion. For acute radiation poisoning, the lethal dose is estimated to be 500 milligrams (mg), i.e. about 1/2 gram. A common poison, cyanide, requires a dose 5 times smaller to cause death: 100 mg. Thus for ingestion, plutonium is very toxic, but five times less toxic than cyanide. There is also a risk of cancer from ingestion, with a lethal doze (1 cancer) for 480 mg.

Inhalation. For inhalation, the plutonium can cause death within a month (from pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary edema); that requires 20 mg inhaled. To cause cancer with high probability, the amount that must be inhaled is 0.08 mg = 80 micrograms. The lethal dose for botulism toxin is 0.070 micrograms = 70 nanograms, a factor of

How easy is it to breathe in 0.08 mg = 80 micrograms? To get to the critical part of the lungs, the particle must be no larger than about 3 microns. A particle of that size has a mass of about 0.140 micrograms. To get to a dose of 80 micrograms requires 80/0.14 = 560 particles.
