April 26, 1986

Twenty years ago. Chernobyl.

Two years ago I linked to a web site created by a young woman from Russian who visits the exclusion areas affected by the Chernobyl accident in the nearby town of. She has since created another series of photos and commentary showing abandoned villages and towns in Belorussia affected by the fallout.

It's worth your time to visit both sites.

The first series: Ghost Town

The second series: Land of the Wolves

Just click on "Next Page" on each page to continue through each series.

"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."
-Revelation 8:10-11

I must have spent an hour at that site.
Thank you, it was captivating.

Most of her story and many of those pictures are fake or staged. Read more here, here and here. Or just enter "kidd of speed fake" into Google.

The Second Amendment means nothing outside of hunting.

Our forefathers gave us that right to fend off a military takeover in the U.S. - by either the left or the right.

Apparently, since most gun owners are far right they didn't see fit to fight the far right takeover so here we are. On the verge of martial law.

You'll imitate your German counterparts of 70 years ago. You'll allow them to take away any weapon that gives you parity with the military. You know you barely made a peep when the Brady Bill took away your assault rifles, which is what you'll need to effectively combat troops.

What a bunch of cowards, and what a sore disgrace you are to our forefathers who gave their blood for the likes of you.

Dean, What is the difference between 'the people' in the first amendment and the second amendment?
"
Amendment I.*

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom
of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably
to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment II.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed. "

and what does that have to do with Nuclear Energy?
