Eight months ago, a Newsweek cover story argued that Obama Should Learn to Love the Bomb:
We now have 64 years of experience since Hiroshima. It’s striking and against all historical precedent that for that substantial period, there has not been any war among nuclear states.
Six months ago, BP’s Vice President for exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, David Rainey, touted offshore drilling’s safety record in Senate hearings:
We also need to remember that OCS [Outer Continental Shelf] development has been going on for the last fifty years, and it has been going on in a way that is both safe and protective of the environment.
A month ago BP’s Deep Horizon drilling rig exploded killing eleven workers and causing an environmental disaster. Enough said.
