NUCLEAR ACCIDENT? NO PROB....PROTECT YOURSELF FOR LESS THAN A BUCK

According to this article in today's Minneapolis StarTribune, the State of Minnesota is one of 21 states (the other 29 must be on a different intellectual plane) to accept free potassium iodide from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to be distributed to everyone within a 10-mile radius of our 2 nuclear power plants.......

2 doses per person.......in the event of a nuclear accident, this shit is supposed to help......something about the thyroid.....whatever.......

Hell, I just did a Google on potassium iodide.......the first result that crops up is an outfit that sells potassium iodide........14 doses for $6.95......that's less than 50 cents per dose......130 milligrams maximum daily recommended allowance........

Well, a 10-mile radius of each of those plants encompasses maybe 100,000 folks each.....

So, the pikers in the government have graciously allowed the entire state a total of $198,571 in the event of a nuclear accident.....less than a dollar per person in the affected areas......

Shit, you couldn't even buy 3 FEMA hurricane trailers for that kinda dough.....(retail, of course.....FEMA probably pays twice that through their civilian outsourcing).......

Hell, the last time I looked, you can't even get a fuckin' flu shot (one time only) for less than $25..........

So let's think about this.......

If you can protect yourself against nuclear exposure for less than a dollar, as the NRC appears to be promoting, why the hell are we worried about it?

Why can't we protect ourselves from the fuckin' flu for less than a dollar?

Less than $200,000 spent in a cheap Republican PR ploy to placate a state with a population of more than 4 1/2 million, with a Republican State Administration trumpeting its value?

PRICELESS!!

EPIPHANY (def.) a divine manifestation.......

To a human being, an orgasm is an epiphany.

To an evangelical, an epiphany is an orgasm.

In the case of the former, it can be experienced countless times.

In the case of the latter, it can be experienced only once.
