The Governor should prevent a southside Virginia farming community to be turned into a nuclear waste dump!

Nuclear WASTE…is not fear….it’s something that doesn’t go away, EVER…at least not in the next several hundred years. They should send all nuclear wast to Sen. John Watkins district and bury it there! I wonder what his constituency would say about that?

—-the science and the engineering that we have worked so hard in Virginia to elevate in our educational systems and in our research facilities is trumped by the tourism that puts their goals above education and by football that puts entertainment again ahead of education. Allowing the goals of entertainment to guide our culture harks back to the bread and circuses of a fallen empire. Unless we can say with pride that we have a science driven economy we will not return to moral or economic prosperity. There must be no holding back now for those educated enough to sound the alarms needed to wake up the citizenry to the dangers of bread and circuses and the promises of progress by utilizing our greatest wealth: the space between our ears and courage to go forward.
