I'm so sorry that I think Radioactive Waste should be disposed of properly.

Hmmmm....people who protest against Yucca Mountain vote for which party?

North Dakota seems as proper a place as any to me.

Don't care. I actually support the Yucca Mountain idea.

Actually, if I was running things, the first thing I'd do after outlawing Boston College and sending Fishy, Flaggy, and Opie to the nearest gulag would be to put every crappy thing that nobody else wants in Detroit! Think about it: 2/3rds of the city is abandoned and is a SuperFund site. Why not use that as an advantage? Toxic waste? Come on down. Nuclear power plants? Plenty of room here. Chemical manufacturing? Sure, we've got room. Bioweapons research? Sounds good. Really, whats the downside? Property values might go down?

They did a documentary on that, I think it was called Robocop.

A movie ahead of its time no doubt, however my plan doesn't call for cyborg law enforcement officials due to the odds that they could turn on their masters.

By all means, bring on the nuclear and chemical engineering jobs. Talk about instant economic diversification.

I'd be happy to send that stuff Detroit's way. Win-win situation. While I may drive those whiners at Daily Kos nuts, but I think you can put bad but necessary things in already damaged places under the guise of making the best of it. For example, people complaning about fracking in Ohio or western PA. Have they ever been to these places? I'd frack the entire city of Cincinnatti and I don't think anybody would miss the place if it sunk into the ground.

Bend over and spread 'em. The impulse to impose another "Red Flag Act" never goes away, does it?

What, pray tell, does a British law enacted over 150 years ago at the behest of railroad special interest groups have to do with the proper disposal of radioactive waste? Are you arguing that "green" energy groups are lobbying for such legislation as we speak?

I don't think anyone has a problem with said waste getting disposed of in North Dakota (hell, I already said it's the perfect place! ), but even North Dakotans deserve some measure of precaution and protections taken to ensure their valuable farmland and oil sands are still industries and resources that can be counted on for the next several decades, without fear of a nuclear accident putting them at risk, no?

Why can't we shoot the waste into the sun? Our rockets have a high degree of success and I doubt the waste will bother the sun.

I'm fine with that, but I understand the argument against it. One mistake and you spread nuclear waste thru the whole atmosphere.
