I watched a 60 minutes segment Sunday about the financial collapse of the Russian army. The part that really caught my attention, though, is the fact that by not paying their bills, the Russian nuclear submarines are in danger of melting down because the equipment which keeps the temperatures moderate in the winter runs on electricity and the Russian navy is not paying their electric bill. The electric company has shut off power. The housing holding the nuclear material in the subs may crack and melt downs ensue. I must say, this is one of the most frightening shows I've ever seen in my life. The payback from years of militarism and the cold war could destroy the oceans, and of course, life on the planet. All in the name of free market efficiency. How does one go about doing something about this? maggie coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
