such as?

You were right on about everything, except that now it's 7 billion :-(

uh, arduino?

It obviously depends on your definition of safety, but nobody has died from Fukushima, and since then I can assure you there have been some coal miner deaths.

I've been trying my hardest to start conversations at the Occupy Chapel Hill site about this very topic. Unfortunately, many seem to want to go back to an agrarian society devoid of "technology". Ah well.

So basically you're cool with shitting in people's mouths and calling it a sunday, because it's better than no food at all?

Pardon me, I'll try to be polite...but FUCK YOU for saying that a living wage isn't a right. Go live in a slum since you're obviously A-OK with them existing.

Your arguments are flawed due to these two problems: productivity per worker is way up, and population of the country is way up. When a chicken processing plant can put out several million packaged chickens (raised from eggs) with only 17 employees in a town of 50k, your argument begins to break down.

I agree that Moore has given the entire movement a taint that will be hard to shake off. That said, if you go to their website occupywallst.org, your solution sounds similar to theirs. Maybe there appears to be no real purpose or real agenda because they aren't forcing themselves into a "Left" or "Right" ideology. They are trying to find a solution by listening to everybody.

The website talks about how this is not the worn out distracting battle between Conservative vs Liberal but rather one between the top 1% and the other 99% and how the top 1% has completely and thoroughly corrupted our government.

You and many others may belittle the movement and paint it as a bunch of 'hipsters', 'topless hippies', or whatever, but their message is pretty clear (if you listen). The country is being fisted by the top 1% and BOTH sides of the political system is owned by them.

Here's an example I just pulled out of my ass of the corruption this movement is trying to wake people up to: The government, through corn subsidies, gives you 7 free twinkies (through taxes you've paid) for every 1/3 of an apple.

Need I remind you of the scam that is healthcare? For me, what really showed me that both sides were bought and paid for was when Obama 'fixed' the healthcare system by forcing people to buy private for profit health insurance.

I could go on, but I'm depressing myself.

Inferring that nuclear waste has to be refined, transported, and stored safely are all unchangeable facts due to the laws of physics is garbage. Traveling wave reactors refine as they go, eliminating the need for transportation and refinement, and when the reaction is done the reactor vessel becomes the storage vessel.

If Google+ had an analog of the Events feature, all my friends would have jumped ship months ago. It's about the only useful thing on Facebook.

Seriously?

If they could enrich the uranium as well, that'd be quite a feat. Somehow I doubt that the bacterium would make their own tiny centrifuges though...
