I would be perfectly happy to have nuclear waste "in my backyard" (that is, at a facility that was located near where I live). I live in New York City, which is close to the Indian Point nuclear power plant, and I certainly don't mind that. In fact, I have made it a point to vote against any politician who campaigns on a platform of shutting it down. Your post reminds me of the bad old days when talk of equal rights for everyone was met with the response of "that's fine in principle, but would you want them as neighbors?" The anti-nuclear movement, bereft of logic and science, must rely on frightening the ignorant into adopting their point of view.
