A lot of the excitement is over

Is it just my imagination, or has the chatter on this forum died down quite
a bit? It took a lot longer than the main stream media, but I guess we all
have to get back to our normal lives at some point.

‹ High radioactivity levels at No.1 reactor 2.9 million beq cesium137 per cubic centimeter EPA not posting Drinking Water results other than 131 on April 15th samples? ›

as reality sets in....

the truth is starting to filter out, at least a bit. More about the levels of radiation all around Japan, the politics, the damage to the workers, etc.

I haven't been watching any tv, so I don't know if there is any news there, but there are a few more articles in the media outside of Japan, though not yet the MSM.

Record high radiation readings keep getting set, and the problem with the water won't go away.

Maybe the "excitement" or urgency has turned to resignation that this is a slow poisoning death, the extent of which is yet to be determined.

Doesn't seem like anything

Doesn't seem like anything has changed, so there's not much new to say. Have you signed the petition to the EPA asking them to resume testing? Have you written your government to request cessation of plans to go ahead with new reactors/to shut down reactors and switch to green power?

Our new normal is a lot different than our old normal pre-fuke's 3 meltdowns. I seriously hope that in 5 years we dont see a spike in leukemias and lymphomas, that in 15 we dont see a jump in solid cancers...

My family doesnt do dairy anyways but we're still avoiding green leafies grown this spring under the fallout rains. And every time sockeye goes on sale we clean out the store.

The German government has just agreed to shut down all nuclear reactors by 2020 even though that was not the plan before the accident. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets which helped the government realize that even in a technologically strong country nuclear disasters can not be prevented or stopped when wanted. Good for the people of Germany. However, Germany is only one country so an accident in a nearby country or across the pacific will still impact them SO we must protest here in the US and Canada and say no to nuclear power. Europeans always seem to have a larger voice with their governments than the Americans. SO it is not over until we let it be over!

Democracy as such has been revealed to be a complete fraud. What happens is what the puppet masters at the top want to happen. Giving ourselves placebos only encourages the status quo.

The excitement, yes, it is over.

The nausea, for me at least, seems to be lingering.

The situation appears to be getting graver and I, for one, have not lost any interest. I have the capacity to sustain attention for a long time when it is warranted, even if it is (very) unpleasant to do so.

However, I would replace the word "excitement" with "horror," this is too big and negative of a deal for me to feel "excitement" over.
