Michael McKee Says:
These are people that want to develop nuclear (noo-klee-ur) power. I wonder how many of these cretins kill their wives because they are just tired of them or maybe they’ve gained a little more weight for their taste. If they can’t honor their commitment to marriage and want to kill their wives instead of working it out, what makes us think they can be trusted with nuclear power?
