Too sad that politicans cannot look beyond narrow political jingoistic lenses. I was really ashamed of both the BJP and the left on this issue. <BR/><BR/>To understand nuclear power, a good place to start : The book of Tom Blees (Prescription for the Planet).Ray Lightninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882462553270746059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-47706965343987193602008-12-17T14:51:00.000-08:002008-12-17T14:51:00.000-08:00I think Shiva's point of view is completely unprac...I think Shiva's point of view is completely unpracticable...a very vague way of thinking about things that will never ever get anything done..<BR/><BR/>But the mention of the nuclear deal is somehting very odd here. I actually find the left very logical and practical on he issues regarding it...<BR/>...although communism as a philosohphy is flawed, I see that the people who think about the real issues concerning India come from a leftist background and not all are blind to reality as is the popular belief.

Against stem-culture or genetically modified seeds. Against dams. <BR/><BR/>I have hardly heard her speak how she intends to solve the problems of chronic poverty or environmental crisis. As she has never been an engineer, she probably cares a zilch about solving problems. As far as I can tell, she is only interested in carping about why something will not work.Ray Lightninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882462553270746059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-1642004151016590492008-11-13T09:08:00.000-08:002008-11-13T09:08:00.000-08:00Gastric acid has lots of HCl in it.Gastric acid has lots of HCl in it.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931487032833360479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9633767.post-43480318265673127652008-11-10T16:51:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:51:00.000-08:00Stomach?

The argument is that any amount of chlorine in your body is harmful. It seems someone is forgetting that we have a built-in vat of hydrochloric acid somewhere in the vicinity of our gut.
