Can a lone senator take an Act of Congress? One can conclude that Harry Reid is in a position to change the law but chooses not to follow the law, does that spell “integrity”? I’m curious, what oath did Harry Reid take? Also, why does Senator Reid lead President Obama and Secretary Chu down a path that would cause them to break the oath they took? Is this another example of Harry Reid’s integrity? Finally, will others use this example of choosing which laws by which they care to abide?

Is Harry Reid’s life being directly affected with any of THOSE right now? Would Las Vegas now be stuck with 1 in 13 homes in foreclosure and unemployment beyond 12% if the Yucca Mountain project was still humming along? Quality innovation, tax revenue and volunteerism, benefits that STILL COULD BE derived from the professional workforce of Yucca Mountain, a secure workforce and their families, benefiting ALL Southern Nevadans? Pretty sad to watch our schools deteriorate; lack of funding previously planned for, lack of concern, loss of a challenging opportunity that was handed to those of Southern Nevada, loss of a Yucca Mountain-generated tax base, revenue badly needed to improve our failing education system. A lost chance to uplift the entire quality of life in Southern Nevada. Most of all, a “cut-off” chance for Southern Nevadans to offer a helping hand that would benefit our entire Nation in a truly professional way. To provide a “state of art” nuclear waste repository way out in our vast desert, far from civilization… by the way, has our senator ever driven himself out to Yucca Mountain? Does he know how long it takes? Has Senator Reid actually toured his chosen “temporary” nuclear waste sites lately, the numerous sites where our nuclear waste is stored above ground right now? Has he visited the towns lately, spoken to the people who live next to it?

Could our own Senator Harry Reid have “succeeded” at a worse possible time? So a final end in the slow death of family-wage jobs, permanent loss of disposable income now being spent in Southern Nevada, loss to our charity organizations, public schools, gambling/entertainment industry, and most of all, permanent loss of a professional, highly-educated workforce as they gradually move out of our neighborhoods? This in the name of success to benefit whom, Senator Reid? And where will the money come from to replace this type of void? Certainly not from his high-speed train to nowhere, CA and as far as I know, the freeway between Las Vegas and Victorville remains functional.

as a college kid bumming about "on the rough", musta spent a month all total, in the luggage racks on such "direct"/"express" trains. the conductor checking tickets never would venture out on top or on the mouldings on the railcar's side, being the train was moving. but when the conductor did manage to force open a door of the car to get inside, some contestant would pull the emergency stop cord. that'd cause many of the rooftop and hangers-on "passengers" to go *ss over teakettle. better was that as the train stopped, the 50+% of those ticketless riders inside the car would bail out through the windows, leaving plenty of room for the ticketed travelers. worse was the occasional news article about a dozen or more rooftop riders who didn't duck enough as a train passed under a road overpass.
