Yes, absolutely.

Then go to your politicians and do. Talk is cheap.

I can't literally put them in my basement, Fred. They're in my state already and I support them existing. What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

Apparently you're the minority. That's good.

Or maybe you are just wrong

Or maybe you are just wrong

So "That’s good" is a wrong statement? OK then.

No maybe your argument that people who advocate for nuclear power aren't the ones who scream loudly when a waste site is by their home is wrong.

The politicians who are owned by fossil fuel companies?

One person writing to their politician isn't worth the trash can space the letter will end up in. We need to have a majority of people supporting smart energy decisions, and that starts with telling people that their opinions on nuclear energy are 50 years out of date.

I have. I also offered to have a weed store move "nextdoor to me" since they kept on bringing it up during the debates years ago. Even sent them my address and the address of the empty building next door so they would know exactly where to put a legal dispensary.

It didn't happen but that might be for the best. Maybe I should have to walk a few minutes to get cannabis instead of walking nextdoor.

Now that I have fulfilled your requirements I am sure you will be retracting your statement....any time now.
