Doom 'n Gloom. People always make short predictions of doom 'n
gloom to happen within their lifetimes, or the really clever
make them happen just after they're dead. But which ones come
true? Hm. None. == Of course nobody knows it's a problem but
you. Don't you think if it made it to the NEWS that _somebody_
besides you knows about it already? Maybe.. just maybe there are
people _working on it_ and will solve the problem (eventually)?
Please. Other ppl don't wanna die either. They'll fix it. == I
know about the expensive robots that got rekt They'll try
something else. They probably already are. Maybe there will even
be some nifty new engineering or even a brand spankin' new sci
theory to come out of it... although more likely it'll be a
nifty engineering solution. Don't sweat it. == Maybe they can
dump a shit load of red algae over it, let them get toxic, scoop
them up as they get full, stick it in Iceland in a barrel, or
whatever they do with old waste. Who knows. == The fact that you
KNOW about it Chris, is proof that something is being done about
it. It got reported. It's out there. Millions of people know
about it. Some of those people are actually in positions to do
something to fix it. They're working on it. Who? I don't know.
But once something is exposed to public common everyday
newspaper knowledge, it doesn't rest. Complain to the people
that can do something. Talking to me doesn't do anything.\ ==
Stress if you like Chris if it gives you purpose. I'm probably
going to die a normal death in 40-44 years or whatever. You
probably are too. Most of the people close to the accident
probably are too. Some won't. There's a lot of nature between
the accident and elsewhere and nature _does_ suck up radiation
and process it in its own fashion and remove it. A nuclear test
site in Italy from the 50s. They were done with it. Heavy levels
of radiation everywhere. What did they do? They put three feet
of dirt on it and made it a public park. IN the 80s, they cut
one of the trees they planted down to see what effects there
were on the rings. Some rings showed radiation early on. Later
rings showed none. == Oh of course ut my point is: Everybody
-doesn't- ignore them. Some _do_ pay attention. There's always
somebody paying attention, making the calls, spreading the word.
My concern is people who get unduly stressed about things that
are completely out of their hands, staying up at night about it,
children who can't sleep over it. Adults who spend large amounts
of time researching something compulsively in an exclusively
negative direction, bringing them more and more into depression
and anxiety. [Think: "My nerve is twitching. I must have MS."]
*If* there's evidence of authorities working on a problem and
you keep them honest and working on the problem, _and_ there's
little else you can do beyond that? What's the point of
stressing over it? Something's being done. With that, you're
free to enjoy life. == It's a current problem. Think of past
problems that were equally impossible that got solved? This will
too. Well, I can't convince you against your will. I did what I
could. ==
