I know that everybody believes that nuclear energy is dirty and dangerous but that's simply not true. There is a very clean source of nuclear energy that comes from the element Thorium. Unlike uranium, thorium can be used in a much safer state which will not melt down. In fact, it can be used to burn off the dangerous radioactive waste that comes from uranium nuclear facilities. Russia and India have active facilities. The United States has an inactive facility from the 60's. There are 2 "problems" with this type of facility.

1) They don't produce weapon grade material. If you consider that a problem.

2) They used to be difficult to initiate. They used to need uranium for the intial fire up. There is a new technology base on particle accelerator technology that can create a safe nuclear plant the size of a McDonald's. It's called a pocket particle reactor.

There is enough thorium that we currently know of to power the earth for 1,000 years. There are several groups of scientists that have been trying to bring this to the forefront. It's difficult to find a negative narrative on the subject because of it's clean burning qualities. What little waste is left can be used in medical technology usage.

No fracking. No meltdowns.

Thom, here is a man I'd like to see on your show. He is brilliant. http://www.brucelipton.com/

SOPA will not break the internet...

...eaven if it passes. It wont eaven have any long-term effects on piracy as proven by the FRA-laws that were implemented in Sweden. (FRA is the swedish eq to NSA).

When the swedish goverment gained the abillity to wiretap everyone on the internet there was a boom for VPN services. Beccause of the amount of traffic now sent thru sweden thru encrypted VPN tunnels the job for FRA beccame hopeless beccause the ammount of encryped of the traffic takes too much computer power to break.

The drawback tho is that pedophiles and possible, (but not probable), threat to national security now can hide among all the encrypted trafic, while it before were the only encrypted traffic, and could be intercepted.

The lesson learned is you cant win against the hackers. The hackers knew how the internet work before there were an internet. There are allready availeble tools to run bittorent over TOR. And a few million more users will cause them to be eaven better.

And to the Hollywood lobby; Peter Sunde, the founder of Piratebay have been working on the solution to how more material will be produced in the future. So far his invention is flattr. If you like something and want more to be produced you throw them a coin. If many people like it you will get much money to make a big production out of it.

I have chosen to opt out after inadvertently going through a porno scanner early on. A wait of 5-10 minutes is not unusual. However, the last time I flew out of Denver the wait was especially long. Subsequently, I encountered, what I believe was, a “patter trainee” with his supervisor in tow.

After the professionally performed grope, the trainee opened my wallet and went through its contents. When I asked the supervisor if that was now standard practice and he informed that they could look at anything they wanted. The supervisor then repeated the wallet search and made a big deal about running it through the x-ray machine to be triply sure none of the cards were sharpened, I guess.

Here is a variation on cell phone abuse by telemarketers and web data managers: I received a call on my cellular phone from the 825 area code. I did not answer - I know of nobody from that AC that would need to call me. Later, I checked my voice mail and hear a bit about getting on a "Do Not Call" list. Then I ran a Reverse Phone Lookup on the number and find that it's registered to Intellius, which I look up via a search engine. Intellius is in the business of supplying background checks and related contact info. So, they are, under false pretenses, trying to grab cell phone numbers to use in People Searches and Background Checks that they sell.

I'm not sure that their tactic is legal. My cell phone number is already in the Federal Do Not Call Registry. Intellius just snatched it or bought it or is dialing via known cellular Area Code and Prefix to collect data to sell.

Regarding Go-Daddy, the groundswell ought to have started quite some time ago, when a picture of CEO Bob Parsons showed up on the internet proudly standing beside his glory - a slain elephant in Zimbabwe, a magnificent creature shot by Go-Daddy himself. In my own posting http://restoringthewaters.com/2011/07/02/elephant-madness/ I suggested that those of us with Go-Daddy accounts change their accounts. Some of us have. Others of us ought to.

When haven't the democracy hating republicans wanted to control and subvert any medium where the truth can be found?

I have a "roadmap FROM America" for Paul Ryan and his ilk, it shows the route to a big gated community......an entitlement so to speak... where folks like him can reside, and let the rest of us 99%ers progress and prosper!

Note that Rep. Ryan claims NOT to be a "main proponent" of SOPA. Apparently, he wrote one of those play-both-sides neutral "I will keep your views in mind if and when I have the opportunity to vote on it" letter. See http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2011/12/reddit-forces-paul-ryan-play-defense-sopa/46782/.

But I applaud your attention to this. GoDaddy now reportedly says it opposes SOPA, but only because SOPA failed to gain "consensus" among GoDaddy's competitor. (In plain English, it seems to say it would be for it were it not for the amount of opposition to it.)

The good news is that since for-profit corporations act purely for profit, it means that GoDaddy now finds it more profitable to take the side of humans that oppose it rather than corporation that support it.
