Life In 19x19

That's nothing. You should have seen the top players room at Go Congress.

Thank you for bringing this article to our attention.
It is sad as it is. Wish it had more media coverage, and more effort by everyone to try to make a stop to that mess.

I've been following the news, though the MSM in the U.S.A. lost interest. Although some of the attention is just speculation about possible consequences to ocean life, there has been ample evidence of under-reporting of exposure among workers at the site. Now, it seems that the initial amounts of radioactive materials released into the environment were vastly under estimated: http://enenews.com/japan-tv-alarming-ne ... m-plant-wo

It depends on what media you read as to whether it is under-reported or not. As I never watch the Main Stream Morons I don't notice the lack. Go to Startpage and type in "natural news" fukushima. You'll get plenty of information. And that is just one of the alternative sites which I thought of first. There are several others which produce reliable information.

I thought that it was clear that I was referring to under-reporting by the MSM. Although I continue to read the New York Times on a daily basis--if for no other reason than to see the official establishment position or rifts in it--most of my non-scientific reading comes from non-MSM sources. As for Natural News, I keep a skeptical mind concerning its reporting--the same as for everything that I read.

You should keep a skeptical mind on everything you read. The best way to get good information is to triangulate from multiple points (heptangulate?) RT is a good source of information, but it is biased in the same way the USMSM is, but not as much so I think. However, I use it as a single data point, the same as Natural News. The only people who are not well-informed are those who are informed by a single source.

Having a quick mind, or a quick pen, is not always best, yes?

My wife and I are getting pretty old, so we both liked this joke:

A concerned husband went to a doctor to talk about his wife. He says to the doctor, "Doctor, I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time and always asks me to repeat things." "Well," the doctor replied, "go home and tonight stand about 15 feet from her and say something to her. If she doesn't reply move about 5 feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so that we'll get an idea about the severity of her deafness." Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off standing about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen as she is chopping some vegetables and says, "Honey, what's for dinner?" He hears no response. He moves about 5 feet closer and asks again. No reply. He moves 5 feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks loudly, "Honey, what's for dinner?" She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"

Let it sink in for a minute or two.
What has this world become?

Haha.
If the number of views is an indication, and/or the number of replies, then cats are more important to go players / forum members than the environment.
Well, I suppose they are .....

You expect replies in less than 9 minutes? I have only just seen your post.

I have not seen the link that you posted as I do not adulterate my live with content from the MSM (Main Street Morons). But I had seen that in several of the alternative sites I read and I am totally disgusted with it. I cannot imagine what they are thinking about. As I am sure many people here do, we have friends in Japan who are not happy about the whole situation.
