No One Wants Backyard Nuclear Dump By ERNIE GATES Low-level radioactive waste includes tools, rags, clothing and other items con- taminated by radiation in nuclear power plants; casks of contaminated water, steel. alloy plates and other items bombarded by radiation in nuclear research; syringes used in radioactive medication; even the rats and beagles used to test the effects of radiation on animals. It doesn't glow in the dark and it isn't as dangerous as spent nuclear fuel or other See 500-Acre, Page A5 Staff Reporter Some call it the Nimby Syndrome. That's Nimby, as in "Not-in-my-back- yard." which is where everybody wants to put a Virginia dumping grounds for low level nuclear waste. Nuclear waste disposal sites in some states are slowly closing their doors to ship- ments from outside their borders, so Vir- ginia and most other states are faced with a need to set up their own dumps The alternative is to shut down nuclear power plants, stop nuclear research and call a halt to nuclear medicine. As director of the state Solid Waste Commission, Susan Dull has been a victim of the Nimby syndrome in conducting public workshops on the need for a nuclear trash dump in Virginia. "A lot of people just hear 'nuclear' and think of something that glows in the dark. Ms. Dull said.

New York: Immigrants are welcome here, we are not like those bigots from Texas who hate immigrants. Texas: OK, we just paid some bus tickets to New York to the immigrants, take care of them. New York: Oh, you can't do this to me.
Close the border! We are full of illegal immigrants here! We can't take care of them, we get over a thousand of them every day! It's been years like this and now it's even worse! ↓ Oh, you just hate immigrants because you're racist and xenophobic, we defend open borders, we are a sanctuary city, immigrants are welcome here, no one is illegal, no one should be punished for crossing an imaginary line in a rock floating in space. But don't worry, we will do what we can, we will help these people, we will show you who is the real christian, we will treat them like people and not like cargo or political pawns. OK then, here's a bus full of immigrants, take care of them. No! We can't take care of them! And you are a monster! You claim you are a christian, but instead of taking care of the poor like Jesus said, you just send them elsewhere! And transporting people across state borders is illegal, it's human trafficking. LATER... Sorry, you will have to make another trip, we wish we could help, but you have to go away.
