Lets face it, Japan and nuclear don’t mix. Period. Their last nuclear tragedy changed a lot for a lot of people, like, genetic diseases for its own for one and a genetic sense of being kings of the world to the Americans. Well this time its going to be dfferent. Anyone heard that Japanese are dumping radioactive water into the ocean. Yeah you heard that. I also kind of heard sometime ago that plastic wrappers with Vietnamese and Icelandic language printed on them washed up on California coast from time to time. Well Japs say that radioactive water is Caesium-Iodine thingy that loses its radioactivity soon, but hey I wasn’t there. And considering the fact that Uranuim and Plutonium are the major fuels used in a nuclear reactor AND their half life is much much very much longer than Iodine or Caesium, I have two options in front of me right now. Either believe Japs that no Uranium in being put into ocean or give up seafood!. Well at this point ,despite my prior knowledge that Russkies lied and tried to downplay and cover up Chernobyl until Swedes ratted them out, I will believe the Japs. But, but..people be carefull...next time you go order that ornately dressed seafish in your restaurant carry a Geiger counter with you!
I sort of fancy myself a writer, and so...um, I'm happy to follow, and I am happy to read...but sometimes, I uh, I have a tendency to proofread...blame my mother. I get your point but I happen to think we are waaaay beyond calling people Japs and Ruskies. And what in hellfire is an "ornately dressed seafish". I'm not worried about the radiation, anymore than I blame Japan for a Tsunami. Shit happens...and it happened to shit on them. The rest is just fallout. We can deal, or we can complain. I choose to deal. Hope you do too. I love bloggers, I love writers, I love people who are passionate about something. Be well.
