22. Apparently, the idiots in the.....
Bush regime, haven't learned the following lesson: "Don't shit in your own nest".

As a victim of America's Cold War nuclear testing in Nevada, I have suffered a lifetime of health problems, including cancers, and many other medical problems. Still dealing with them today, and feel lucky to be alive, as many of my friends, ...are not. Was also told not to have children, as there was probably chromosome damage. Lovely.

The government has yet to take full responsibility for what they did to me, and thousands of others, civilians and veterans alike. The fucking Repuglians (along with some Dems, like Miller, presidential candidate, Edwards, and Breaux, and other DINOs)inserted some arcane exceptions in the Radiation Survivors bill, that was *supposed* to pay us for all that we have lost, and all that it has cost us (medical bills, lost wages, etc.), that excluded me, and thousands of others. Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson, Richard Bryan, and Harry Reid, tried to fix it, but John Warner, and the rest of the fucking nazis threatened to kill the whole bill, unless we were exempted, so, some got covered, .....but MOST WERE NOT.

I feel so badly that the government is still allowed to get away with killing their own people like this. It is absolutely a Republican led effort to deny, cover-up, and lie about it too, in an campaign to protect their military-industrial complex patrons. So, we'll have thousands of kids coming back from Iraq, with illnesses they can't figure out, and for which, THERE IS NO FUCKING CURE!! And, to top it off, we have poisoned hundreds of thousands of children and adults in Iraq as well. Nice, friendly, beneficent, American liberators, ...MY ASS!

If I sound angry, you are right. This is why I have spent virtually all of the last 30+ years fighting these bastards, and will, until I am dust in the wind....
:mad:
