Agreed. We are at the point where we can turn from the madness and evolve, or go down with the ship (Earth). The ETs are here to help us make the pro-survival decision.

Well said Morris.

Aliens that have gone beyond our petty differences must look and see us as "retarded backwards thinkers" as we destroy our own children before birth and those that are born are sent to war to kill one another as others profit from their destructions.

This was on RSOE today. A nuclear submarine had a mechanical problem. Look at the nuclear arms it carries. Would anyone in their right mind ever use these weapons after what happen in Japan? This is complete madness...
A nuclear-powered submarine is returning to port after a mechanical problem caused loss of power while it was on a training exercise. HMS Vengeance is returning to Faslane under its own power on the sea surface despite a reduction in propulsion. The incident happened on Thursday night while the vessel, which is one of four nuclear-powered Vanguard class submarines, was in the North Atlantic. An MoD spokesman said the incident was "not nuclear related". He said: "Vengeance has suffered a mechanical defect resulting in a reduction in propulsion. "She is returning to Faslane under her own power." John Large, a consultant on nuclear safety, said the most likely cause of the failure would be discarded fishing nets or heavy mooring cables. He said the submarines were designed to disengage their engines and "dump" power in the event of a propeller unit becoming jammed. The boat carries up to 48 nuclear warheads on up to 16 Trident missiles, which weigh 60 tonnes and have a range of 4,000 nautical miles. The submarine also carries conventional Spearfish torpedoes. One of the four submarines, which together comprise Britain's nuclear deterrence, is always on patrol as an "insurance policy" known as Continuous At Sea Deterrence. A nuclear-powered submarine ran aground off the Isle of Skye in October. Two months later, on its first day back at sea, HMS Astute broke down. According to reports, a fault had affected the propulsion and desalination system that makes sea water drinkable.

The compass of news the past few days has swung to a new North—to the rising measurements of radioactivity in the waters off Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant.
The transmission of radionuclides through the physical and biological webs of ocean and atmosphere is dynamic and far-reaching, since the contamination is carried by waves and winds and life itself. You can see an illustration of how this works at my blog Deep Blue Home.
Radioactive pollution in the ocean is nothing new. We've been loosing the stuff offshore since 1944. Here's how.
1) Nuclear weapons tests:
For example, at Bikini Atoll between 1946 and 1958, the US detonated 23 atmospheric nuclear bomb tests, including the first hydrogen bomb, which exploded far more violently than predicted and contaminated a swath of ocean 100 miles/160 kilometers away from the epicenter. The fallout affected inhabited islands, fishing boats and fishers at sea, and, obviously, a lot of marine life. The map below shows where contaminated fish were caught, or where the sea was found to be excessively radioactive, after the 1955 hydrogen bomb test at Bikini=X marks.

France exploded 193 nuclear tests in the atmosphere and in the waters of French Polynesia between 1966 and 1996. The tests began after the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty outlawing detonations in the air. I wrote about this in my book THE FRAGILE EDGE:
The [first] bomb was exploded aboard a barge in the [Moruroa's] lagoon, sucking water into the air and raining dead fish, corals, cephalopods, crustaceans, mollusks, and all the once living components of the reef onto Moruroa’s motu [islands], where their radioactive forms decayed for weeks. Confounded by this result, the French hastily arranged to explode their second bomb seventeen days later from an air plane 45,000 feet above the featureless South Pacific, some 60 miles south of Moruroa. Without people or equipment to witness, record, or analyze this distant blast, virtually no data was collected, making its detonation more an act of pique than science. Two days later, as described by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists:
An untriggered bomb on the ground [at Moruroa] was exposed to a “security test.” While it did not explode, the bomb’s case cracked and its plutonium contents spilled over the reef. The contaminated area was "sealed" by covering it with a layer of asphalt.

The mentality, it cannot not happen in our lifetimes, so build it anyway, has now ended. Minds that are foolish in thinking and have been allowed to be in power are now out of date and will be looked upon in negative ways and seen as out of touch with reality.
We need to voluntarily start decreasing our electrical usage, in other words, get off the grid. Will it happen? Not likely. This lowers income to build more plants. When the electric companies stop making money on nuclear plants they will close them. This is a long-term plan as it takes a long time for rods to cool off.
This tactic should be used on all large corporations. To diminish their power, stop patronizing them, stop buying their products. As profits decrease, so does lobby money for D.C.

It is very disconcerting and part and parcel of what w are discussing here right now.
