Swickard Column: Those things that are far worse than a radiation leak

Heck, examining the Fukushima Diiachi plant site using Google Earth, it looks like natural bluffs were removed in order to bring the grade level closer to sea level. The bluffs quickly rise to about 100 ft above sea level, then continue rising more slowly. The advantages of putting the plant near sea level is that there is much less pumping head required when moving the sea water (condenser cooling water) from the ocean to the turbine condensers, and the whole plant site is almost invisible when looking out to sea (westward) from a point inland. But then, hindsight is always 20/20.
Easy for you to say. How about denying an illegal alien terrorist or a Mexican drug lord a New Mexico drivers license? By the democratic party's standards this would be substantially worse...unthinkable. How else would these common criminals navigate U.S. highways on a mission to cause a nuclear disaster or murder a member of a competing drug cartel, a Mexican law enforcement official hiding or seeking asylum in America? What will they do if they can't depend on New Mexico's democratic party for state issued credentials?
