No need to start an argument - I should have kept my mouth shut.� The whole left-of-Marx thing was a bit of hyperbole.� He is way, way left, but obviously (and I thought it was obvious - I should know better in this format) not actually left of Marx.

As far as the Oils' point of view I agree with a large number of ideas they sung about.� Nuclear energy (not talking weapons), though, they are dead wrong.� Just my opinion.�

As a materials engineer I am intimately familiar with the technologies that were to be used to encapsulate and store the nuclear waste.�� I have worked with the materials for other purposes (I'm not in the nuclear field at all, so my job isn't at stake or anything).� It would have worked.� The site was a good choice.� We spent massive amounts of money to put things in place.� It is a shame (IMO) that NIMBY killed it.�

BTW, I have a number of opinions that are contradictory with every "normal" political line of thought.� But I am still a huge Oils fan.� In fact, last weekend I ran my first half-marathon.� My song list for the last (many) miles included a bunch of Scream in Blue and the good stuff from Diesel (Bullroarer, Sell Your Soul - the pumping stuff).� My 1:41 finish on a hilly course made for a great day - and the Oils dragged me to the finish line in style. ;-)

Take care.
