Comment In some ways this is a good sign (Score 2, Insightful) 335

At least to me it confirms my belief that big media is absolutely terrified of its own demise. The complete hyperbole of their statements only makes sense to me as a expression of this terror. Unfortunately, since they have great influence I don't forsee them doing anything but morphing into some other greedy monopolistic form. Still ... watching the terror makes for a good show.

Comment My experience in Texas elementary schools (Score 1) 804

When I was young ... a long time ago (1960's in fact) ... my family moved a lot. As a result I ended up attending two different elementary schools in Texas, one in New Jersey and one in Alabama. While I can't comment on other Texas elementary schools, the two Texas schools were overwhelmingly the least pleasant experiences of the four. One of them seemed to adopt more of a guard/prisoner mentality regarding the relationship between teachers and students. I see that little seems to have changed.

Comment My attemp to actually read the article (Score 5, Insightful) 136

First, the quote, "Numerous incidents of unplanned releases of radioactivity have been reported to the NRC within the past few months." "These incidents of leaks, overflows and spills have resulted in contamination of areas outside of plant buildings. " is not actually in the article but rather it is in the link from the NRC in 1979 about responding to the leaks. The article then goes on the say "the NRC is capitulating to an industry decision to take almost three more years before announcing an action plan" but the link supporting this is broken, so I can't evaluate it. The next two paragraphs have no links or citations, just general accusations. The next paragraph seems to be supplying substantive information about tritium leaks, but both of the supporting links are broken, so again, I can't evaluate them. I downloaded the full report but just wasn't interested in reading 50 pages of stuff after trying to evaluate these few paragraphs.
