31. I hope they take a lesson from lubbock and rocky flats
Bomb production is a toxic waste business, and can toxify a site
irreparably, that the long term costs of cleanup grow in to the billions
and billions. At least i hope they put the facilities in places where
the toxic mess won't hurt their civilians. Rocky flats is way tooo close
to a population center... as are other of the US nuclear bomb making
toxic dumps.

The US has been making and losing! atomic bombs for half a century now.
The lesson seems to be, that its a good way to waste a lot of money
on a bunch of toxic crap that never ever gets used. Were all the
warheads in the US arsenal fakes, and 1/10th the money spent, on a huge
charade, we'd all be the wiser for having the cash for our schools
and roads. That they're real is the really pathetic part, and hopefully
the iranian people will keep their arsenal just large enough to deterr
evil nations like the US, and no larger... as the lesson of nukes is that
you never use them, they cost a bundle, and only kill domestic civilians
with toxic mess.
