What are you saying. This talk of federal regulations goes against any Red neck American thinking. Tepco did what any American Corporation would have done. They have been given the right of self regulation. Government regulation!! that's Blasphemous. This is Capitalism and free enterprise at its glory. So enjoy the show as the Corporations show you how things are done without government involvement. Only difference is Americans are better at coverups. They have many years of experience starting from the President down.

This is easily one of the dumbest replies I've ever read.

Us "Red Necks" aren't anarchists, we're just practical and we want an efficient government. Governments are necessary, as are police, fire, whatever. Reasonable regulations based on rigorous SCIENTIFIC study are fine, especially in circumstances, such as using nuclear power, where negligence can cause significant danger to the populace.

Do we need science-based regulations on nuclear power plants to ensure safety? Yes.

Do we need state laws making it illegal to buy or sell alcohol on Sunday? No.

Do we need a year's worth of red tape and bureaucratic nonsense requiring 7 different approvals so some guy can build a small grocery store on the corner near a neighborhood? No.

For serious now, stop being an idiot so we can have legitimate conversations.
