Re: U.S. Drops 'E-Bomb' On Iraqi TV

On Sunday, April 6, 2003, Tyler came up with this...
TD We could start nuking garbage dumps that are already full to make space for
TD new garbage (eg, Staten Island). Radiation won't be a problem compared to 
TD the other toxins that have already seeped into the ground, and besides--who 
TD cares?--its already a garbage dump.

Staten Island is too small to cope with increasing amount of garbage
being generated, even if you do nuke it every few years. Why not clear
out Long Island? It's full of garbage, and it's much bigger.

Although, Staten Island could do with a nuke anyway.
Just wait until I move first.

Can you see the flag?
Rising up beyond the smoke
of dying authors, burning books,
there was a problem with what they wrote.
The flag is hard to read,
because all flags start to look the same
covered with the blood
of the faithless and insane.

Yes, that's about right...


I think that is grossly unfair.  They all-of-a-sudden had a
several-order-of-magnitude change in the cost of explosions,
and as applied scientists, looked for beneficial applications.

Fact is, if the sheeple weren't so ignorant/afraid, peaceful,
clean uses of nukes could benefit, e.g., excavating canals at
a fraction of the cost/time of conventional work.

This is economics  physics, with politics smothering the
whole affair.
