And this, on the Fukushima (you may be tempted to say, "Yeah, but the amounts of radiation found off the west coast of America are so minute," but think about how vast the Pacific Ocean is and move you mind further west toward the east.)

    Fukushima... I don't even like thinking about it!
    The history books will not be kind to this era, the era of economic interest over human needs.
