Fukushima USA: Hell or High Water
Amplify’d from www.huffingtonpost.com
That's all the more reason to rededicate ourselves to an important idea: Government exists to protect us when other institutions cannot. Businesses exist to make a profit, and their prosperity benefits everyone if it's properly managed. But the profit motive needs to be balanced by human (and humane) considerations if we're to be a livable society - or at the very least a survivable one.
Regulations are our way of ensuring that the drive for profits never again leads to needless tragedies: Not in Fukushima. Not in the Gulf of Mexico. Not in New Orleans. And not in your home town, or mine, or anyone else's.
