Holding Up Religous Freedom

You’ve got to give props to Rep. Henry Waxman. He’s willing to go where many fear to tread, even to Germany. Oh, I know it’s important, and little wedges can make big trees fall, but still…
Feminist Majority’s 2012 “HerVotes” List

The Feminist Majority has compiled this year’s list of threats to women’s rights.
Top Ten Historic Advances for Women Now at Risk
Link to: HerVotes
I must say that I was glad to see this list; one of the underreported elements of job loss in the public sector is how it is disproportionately affecting women. Because public service jobs were more likely subject to affirmative action requirements, a larger number of women were afforded the chance for a good job with decent benefits. Public service jobs were representative of wages we were all supposed to be getting, but lost during Reaganomics, the loss of union influence, the BushCo push to make small business into the new poor class, and set up the slurpy with straws for Federal money into religous non-profits
So the loss of these jobs, forcing women back into minimum wage survival is viewed by me as the greatest attack on women’s rights in the last 50 years.
Of course all those foes had help. The unleashing of the oligarchs was part of the pincer attack. Then came the Great Bushco push to force retirement funds into bed with corporations instead of investing in their own state. It went a long way to tear down the house.

NRC to Suspend Nuclear Plant Licensing; Kucinich: Are we are witnessing the end of nuclear? | Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich

See:
Can it be wonderfully true? Nuclear plant construction got suspended before and came back to haunt us.
Consider this recent POST from the Tri-City Herald in eastern Washington. Cleaning up the Hanford site is projected to cost only 12 billion, down 3 billion from last year’s projections. At least most of the waste was kept at the site. What is it going to cost to deactivate and clean up other aging reactors and their dump sites?
Click on the map below, taken from the NRC website. It indicates 104 operating power plants. Even if it only costs 10 billion a piece to clean them up in today’s money, it’s still more than pocket change- and that doesn’t even include the dump sites.
From NRC.gov “Nuclear Power Sites”
I can’t think of a worse way to saddle a small state with future woes, like say Yucca Mountain, unless it’s fracking.
