Regardless of the reason, the chance of an incident such as Japan’s happening in the states isn’t likely.
“I would consider it an overblown concern,” Stevenson said. “The truth of the matter is, we’re surrounded by potential natural hazards all [of] the time.”
Kadak and Stevenson both said the Japan scenario was a result of two back-to-back disasters, and Kadak said it’s much too early to point blame, either at human neglect or design failure.
“Until we understand what happened,” he said, “it’s really, really too soon to try and find a solution.”
OK NOW I'M GONNA PANICK!
I'm supposed to plan for retirement 40 years away, but not to worry about anything happening to a nuclear power plant that is well within reach of my community, home, family, lungs, vision, and on and on.
" Regardless of the reason, the chance of an incident such as Japan’s happening in the states isn’t likely. "
Well, guess what - When I go out to eat I don't want to hear that the chance of me getting food poisoning isn't likely. I want to hear that the food is safe to eat.
When I have a nuclear power plant within my vicinity, I want to hear that everything is more than safe, not, " ...an incident such as Japan’s happening in the states isn’t likely ".
@ loveblueunicorn: How many letters have YOU written to your legislators? How many homes have YOU gone to and talked with the crime victims? How many civilian investigative ride alongs with the police have you gone on in an attempt to solve local and centralized crime issues? Who at children services have you spoken with to get educated about new discipline methods for children?
I have your answer and I'm not even close to being psychic - ZERO.
Oh yes, I could go on and on, but you have absolutely no idea of what these animal criminal thugs have been doing to the very fabric of our community and I for one am enjoying every bit of punishment they receive.
It is too bad that vigilante justice isn't around the corner from their prison cell.
@ babygirl612:
" And This Is Just What White Folks Want,... " ; " But Isnt America The Land Of Freedom & Equality BS! Once Again Black People!, GET EDUCATED! "
You need to speak with Michelle Obama because she PUBLICALLY stated your very sentiments and people, WHITE PEOPLE, voted for her husband.
You babygirl612 and your racist rants and tirades sicken the very intelligent nature of our community and threaten everyone’s way of life.
I only wish you find your racist cause in a nemesis in which you may always have your sickened peace, but do so out of our community comprised of peaceful black, white, red, yellow, brown, and more, skin colors.
Before you issue your " Once Again Black People!, GET EDUCATED! " battle cry, I suggest you do it after accomplishing for yourself a GENERAL EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT degree.
Perhaps that way you won't come across as stupid and your friend, loveblueunicorn, won't look or be assumed stupid simply for associating with you.
" Some of the ones who were arrested are good kids, its just bad that their friends are not and by them knowing them and growing up with them, they are labeled something they are not. "
What? Good kids gone bad? Where are you from? How did you get to this planet?
What has happened to personal responsibility? You state, " So get your behinds out there and help someone instead of criticizing them. "
You tell us to take personal responsibility (of what? To become responsible for these loser thug animals stealing and robbing and killing our neighbors and family and friends?), yet you ALLOW these loser thugs in our community to continue with their issues and act out VIOLENTLY in our community, AND you state that YOU are trying to help them??
ARE YOU KIDDING?? What kind of advice are you able to logically and intelligently give them, let alone anyone?
They are not good kids (GOOD KIDS COMMITTING ADULT VIOLENT CRIMES), they are animals behaving like animals behaving like criminals in a civilized society. All of them were arrested for a reason.
Hopefully the ones you don't want labeled as something they are not will be labeled inmate number 987654321 with a lifetime sentence in a federal prison. My God, the innocent people they made feel desperate in their own home.
Life has been tough on ALL OF US after all, we live in Youngstown Ohio, but you don't see all of us acting like animals and criminals.
" They are not animals, they are human beings like the rest of us,... "
WRONG. TRY AGAIN LOVEBLUEUNICORN. They are animals destroying our neighborhoods and community which are made up of black, white, red, yellow, brown, and more, skin colors.
In the circle of life their actions have made a very very negative difference for very very many people.
" When the chiladren service stopped people from whopping their kids it took away the right from parents. "
I know the answer and I don't want to hear it. No, no need to respond Bertram. I am saddened.
I could write a highly detailed book on what, when, and how the unions messed up.
Jim Graham should NOT repudiate Kasich. Their relationship is off to a great start and IT IS ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS!!!
I never met Jim Graham, and I really don't care to, but he does get things accopmplished and indeed has a proven track record in bringing issues together as well as resolving those issues.
@ dodge2002:
I agree with you totally. You wrote 5 sentences and each one are succinct and states it all.
@ TAXEDOFF:
I'm simply asking - trying to get edu=mah=cated here-
Are you stating that Doug Franklin is favored by the Cafaros' ?
I agree with you your sarcasm toward Carol Righetti and I wish I never voted for her as I have come to personally realize that she is not what the voters believe her to be.
If you were the Cafaros', wouldn't YOU try to get the candidates on your side? I don't fault the Cafaros', I fault the voters for voting without knowing details.
Even so, the candidates only have so much money to work with in a campaign.
J(ose) H. C(orey), you have mad issues today. First thing that came to my mind was that you work the next desk over from Skolnick and you are STILL upset because he ate that donut you wanted 6 years ago that you were not quick enough to grab at the table.
And what kind of monicker is "nojimbo"? You probably ARE Jimmy Traficant hiding inside the wall of glory.
Yeah, I wrote it. Did you get it?
Anyway,
Cut Skolnick some slack and Bertrum too for that matter.
I don't know those guys though I spoke with Bertrum once maybe twice, he'd never remember, and I spoke with Skolnick once and never met him.
These are challenging and up and down times for everyone. I, for one, am enjoying ALL OF IT to the hilt. Life is good. Skolnick wrote an op ed piece not the Declaration of Independence.
Now go out and vote all the sons of butters outta office and stay out of lightening storms.
I certainly hope that our local politicians will do the right thing for us and they can start by saving our city money the right way.
They know whom they are and what I speak of.
Well, maybe they don't. Our local politicians aren't exactly, uh,.. uhm,... sufficient in logic nor common sense.
They can't even come up with a good story to get us to believe we really need this tax or this expense, and on and on.
I guess our local politicians are not able to do the right thing by us taxpayers. Hey, vote 'em all out and start anew until we get leadership that works for us.

Just say no to ‘330’
HAHA!!
This made my day.
" ...and undergarment allowance — to all engineers’ office workers."
"Each county attorney could get his or her own secretary. (Two for Paul Gains — one for each side of the brain.)"
"Thus I, as a simple citizen, hereby propose SB 330."
Mr. Franko, I am seriously considering asking you to place me on your fan list. Not so fast : like I said, I am considering it.
HAHA! The above COLON is for effect.
