Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data, ability to repeat discredited memes, and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

Yes, well note to Grasshopper group, cite your specific data sources. And by that, I don’t mean the general sources you use, technorati and bx.businessweek.com, but the specific docs or links to the data. Otherwise people have no easy way of assessing the pretty pictures.

Besides Mexico and Canada, what is the rest of North America? Just going by population and even discounting my own U.S-centrism, it seems implausible that the rest of the continent would have more bloggers than the United States, unless there’s some vast Panamanian spam-blog server I don’t know about.

Seems like there was a Massive showing for the Japanese Example of Catastrophic Failure of Nuclear Power.
So, instead of a real national debate on the true safety of nuclear power, we got kiss-up bloggers defending and denying the dangers of the meltdown.
There is a solution for Nuclear: Thorium.
But, the Nuclear Industry has lost all ability to innovate to a better solution, except where that innovation intersects with Propaganda and Lobbying.
