Definitely Time

I asked Linda Hamilton yesterday when she would go back to work. Before the fascists in the Massachusetts courts decided to bring her down, she worked as a nurse with anesthesiologists at North Adams hospital. She told me that she could never work as a nurse again, since she is now a convicted felon, which nullifies her nursing license. All this for holding her licensed handgun on her steering wheel in its holster. Before he was coached by his attorney into changing his testimony, the trucker didn't even know it was a gun. He thought it was a cell phone. She does not plan to appeal since she has heard that the typical response to such appeals by the courts in the area is to imprison the petitioner in a mental hospital for a month after a rigged psychiatric evaluation. Linda seemed in good spirits, though we didn't talk for long. Is it time yet to shoot the bastards?

Meg at not.so.soft - friday, may 11 - Meg's web site is "powered by passion".

When I don't write anything here, it's not because I haven't got the technology - I've got a text editor and an FTP client, and that's all I need - but because there's nothing to say, or I can't find the words, or I'm out in the sunshine, daydreaming.

Lance Laytner at the New York Post - Backyard Astronaut's Bid for Glory - Brian Walker plans to shoot himself into sub-orbit in a home-built quarter million dollar space ship. The f.a.a. may give him grief. If so, he'll simply move over the border into Mexico. [mumble]

Chaos Manor Mail - Friday, May 11, 2001 - Claims that the waste from nuclear power plants is not a real problem. News to me, but would be lovely if true, since the waste is the only real problem with fission plants. Will likely move here next week. [pournelle]

I could continue. The amount of nuclear waste if the entire US were run on nuclear power amounts to about two aspirin tablets per year in size; it can be encased in (actually made part of) glass, and glass is very long lived with respect to the dangerous parts of nuclear waste.
