14. So we are paying for new companies to fix the problems
created by the old companies, by hiring the old companies employees?

I grew up in E. Washington. Of course we never heard anything of problems there.

The real pisser is that all over the planet now radiation is being spread by reactors, by
"hardened" weapons, and from what I recently read, by "tactical" nukes ( bunker busters)
in Afghanistan, and the vile men who are approving this will claim to not understand why there is such an outbreak of birth defects, cancers and "Gulf War Syndromes" , which won't be treated unless a privatized business can make money out of it.
