My partner had a job assignment in a local nuclear power plant. He had to sign a form acknowledging that if he was separated from his escort, he could be shot on sight.

His escort disappeared almost immediately just the same, leaving my partner very nervous. When the guys with guns came around, they asked if his escort was so-and-so and when he said, "yes," they said, "we've told him not to do this but he does it all the time."

Take Home: Security at these places is just not very secure.

They also tried to get away with sending him into a "dirty" environment without the proper suit. He won't go back into that plant.

We're pretty much asking people to give up years of their lives and die a prolonged, expensive death to work in these places. We ask the same of coal workers but coal workers are at least aware of what they're giving up. A worker told my partner, "I never seen any radiation in this room." Seriously. I suppose when he gets cancer, he'll blame the color TV or something.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
