"After several years after the test wells were allowed to settle, the levels of dissolved uranium and radium dropped significantly. The average of the three rounds of testing will be used for attempted restoration. This drop in levels suggests that the original values were stimulated and elevated to establish a baseline. The aquifer must be "confined" as the primary prequalifier. The fault allows migration of water from sand to sand, making this an unconfined aquifer. A rancher in Meyersville was telling me that Pecan Valley Groundwater Conservation District has found that the aquifer moves around 600 feet per year in the NW part of DeWitt County, and that some levels have dropped as much as 20 feet. I really don't care if uranium is mined in Palangana. Have you seen that place? It's desolate and very few people live there. Mestena is in the middle of a huge ranch with no neighbors for miles and miles. So, who cares what they do with their water? The Goliad mining zone is in a recharge zone for the Evangeline Aquifer, the aquifer zone is not confined and the probability of an excursion is higher than what would be considered normal. If my family ends up getting sick from this, somebody's going to have hell to pay."

"Here's some interesting reading... http://bakerinstitute.org/publications/GCC-pub-SassUraniumMining-032811.pdf Uranium mining isn't a "yes or no" thing. Neither is nuclear power. Coal is dirty. Something's got to change or something's going to give. This is indisputable. But, remember the water wells in Victoria County along 622 that were found to have radium228 over EPA MCL's? Those levels were found just after the uranium exploration commenced. Today, those same wells show zero radium. Where did it come from, and where did it go? Radium doesn't precipitate in a reducing environment. Is it possible that oxygenated water used during exploration made its way downstream more quickly than expected? Two faults lie in the mining zone. By the company's own pump test results, the northwest fault is transmissive, allowing water to migrate from sand to sand. Could mining fluids escape the zone by means of this fault? ALJ Wilfong says yes, they could. Sure we need alternative sources of energy. But, at what expense? My son served overseas in a tank, sitting on boxes of depleted uranium shells every single day. His son, my grandson, was born with only one arm in April of last year. This could be coincidence, but I don't think so. When I collected 19 samples of water in our neighborhood some four years ago, three showed dissolved uranium, but around 20% of EPA MCL. One well, however, showed significant levels of radium. Both teenagers in that household have developed leukemia with no history of cancer in the family. Again, this could be coincidence but I don't think so. Now, our daughter will be fifteen in August. When she's 21 or 22, will she be affected by unknown radium in the water? The risk is there, and I'm not willing to take that risk. I would hope that you feel the same way about your family. That's what this is about...not energy. It's scary as hell. I saw that Emily Collins will present a story this Thursday at 10:00pm on Channel 25 News. I declined to participate."

"Rollinstone. Sorry bust your bubble. I do not get up in the Morning and say GEE the White man is after me. Most things I care about is money, women, my life, my family. And oh did I say sexy women? It seems almost every Black leader in America since 1900 had been called Marxist or UN-AMERICAN. That is a historical fact. You are also a damn lair when you accuse the President of not coming to Alabama, when he actually did. THAT IS CHARACTER ASSASSINATION !!!!!!!!!! NO IFS, ANDS, or BUTS !!!!!!!!! Yet your punk self try to preach “character” and “honor” . J. Williams"

"Rollingstone, once again you betray your complete unfamiliarity with history. All through the Middle Ages Jews were segregated, persecuted--i.e. murdered, tortured etc. all because of the charge of being the Christ Killers. That kind of stuff was going on well into 20th century in different places in Europe. And while Hitler's rants in Mein Kampf cited economic and racial issues as the basis of his hatred of the Jews, it ALL had it origins in the the charge of Christ Killer. Then add to that the common but incorrect view that the Jews stabbed Imperial Germany in the back and caused the loss of World War I, that they were behind the economic collapse of the Deusche Mark in the 1920's and the stage was set for someone like Hitler to come along take all the toxic ingredients and mix them together to create the poison of National Socialism that the population was more than ready to drink because it fit into the "reality" that they had believed for generations."

"Guess I found the last of the real men out there, as my husband has bought more personal items for me than anyone would have thought. When I was bedridden, there were necessary acts of kindness that he didn't consider below his manhood to perform, with loving, gentle hands. Loving someone is sometimes helping them take care of themselves. "
