Man, nuclear energy is bad.

With the privatization of energy companies, nuclear energy is a disaster waiting to happen.

It's a matter of how the core-values of for-profit organisations manifest themselves in the market, which is essentially to maximize profits.

All companies attempting to maximize profits will reduce costs as much as possible. The only way a company is able to reduce their costs as much as possible when dealing with nuclear waste, is to overstep the line and then adjust their cost-cutting techniques so that it borders on that line.

Government regulation won't work, since governments core values are to maximize their own survival, and this is primarily faciliated by aligning themselves with profit-maximizing legislation for for-profit organizations.

You could argue that they don't have to walk the line, and can avoid mistakes, but considering what a wonderful service I'm getting from British Gas right now, I definitely do not want nuclear energy in their "competent" hands.

Nice one, I like it :) Since they're married, then it's okay. Damn, so all this time, the largest demographic of people I thought were actually commiting rape, weren't actually carrying out rape, they were just forcing the other person to have sex with them. Ohhhh.. http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs2/r159.pdf

Women are most likely to be sexually attacked by men they know in some way, most often partners (32%) or acquaintances (22%). Current partners (at the time of the attack) were responsible for 45% of rapes reported
