Regarding CFLs and the mercury hazard - I realize the thinking on that is based on a precautionary principle, but is there any actual evidence that busting a CFL without a hazmat team on hand is really dangerous, or is it a case of "Mercury! Deadly! Flee for your lives!" thinking? Just don't put 'e...

Re: Sillyness continues.
The segments of the American oligarchy that favored Obama aren't any more in favor of the succession of American Sovereignty than are the segments that opposed him. It's silly theater to pretend otherwise. They didn't succeed by opposing their own power. Uh. Obama is a Europhile (with Muslim sympat...

Whistleblowers are already coming out. They were cutting corners. There are many rigs were corners are being cut. Profit over safe engineering, baby. The timing is suspicious. The people who benefit from this are the eco terrorists. Who are the eco-terrorists in this case? The advocates of drilling...

Oligarchy... Yes, to the obvious.
Kind of. If you don't court or pander to some segment of the oligarchy, you don't get elected. The Democrats tend to answer to the Financial Services Industry, the Legal Industry, Entertainment, Public Service Unions and interests, Actual Labor unions, Fossil Energy interests and existing Nuclear In...

a mathematcian friend of mine once claimed that the (compound) 'knotting' behaviour of a simple rubber band when you wind it up and wind it up, remained (as of a few years ago at least) one of the great remaining unsolved chalenges of mathematical modelling. Pretty clearly the most minor peculiarit...
