Nuke me up

Did anyone see this? Apparently the government is looking for input on the proposed transfer of nuclear waste through North & South Carolina on its way to Tennessee for procesiing and then to Utah for disposal. Sounds okay right? Wrong! The nuclear waste is from Italy! Why are we importing another country's nuclear waste? Don't we have enough here that needs disposal? Doesn't Italy have their own disposal plants? If not, then why are they producing nuclear waste. Disposal of nuclear waste is not something I think of as an international affair, much less an intercontinental affair. Hey, since this country is going to "hell in a handbag" anyway, lets open our borders to all the world's nuclear waste-China, Europe, Russia, North Korea, Iran. Maybe that is how we should handle the immigration problem. If the U.S. is full of nuclear & toxic waste, maybe illegal immigrants will stop crossing our borders out of fear of sterilization or mutation. Then maybe the rest of us can live in peace (or in pieces)-watching our reality TV with our third eye while multitasking with four arms.

On a related note, I remember in the early 1980's that if you went deer hunting in S.C. and you bagged a deer, you had to take it to regulation center to have it checked for radiation before you could take it home &/or eat it. Is that where we are headed again?
