  • Chapter 3: the Rise of the Antinuclear Power Movement: 1957 to 1989
    Chapter 3 THE RISE OF THE ANTINUCLEAR POWER MOVEMENT 1957 TO 1989 In this chapter I trace the development and circulation of antinuclear struggles of the last 40 years. What we will see is a pattern of new sectors of the class (e.g., women, native Americans, and Labor) joining the movement over the course of that long cycle of struggles. Those new sectors would remain autonomous, which would clearly place the movement within the autonomist Marxist model. Furthermore, it is precisely the widening of the class composition that has made the antinuclear movement the most successful social movement of the 1970s and 1980s. Although that widening has been impressive, as we will see in chapter 5, it did not go far enough, leaving out certain sectors of the class. Since its beginnings in the 1950s, opposition to the civilian nuclear power program has gone through three distinct phases of one cycle of struggles.(1) Phase 1 —1957 to 1967— was a period marked by sporadic opposition to specific nuclear plants. Phase 2 —1968 to 1975— was a period marked by a concern for the environmental impact of nuclear power plants, which led to a critique of all aspects of nuclear power. Moreover, the legal and the political systems were widely used to achieve demands. And Phase 3 —1977 to the present— has been a period marked by the use of direct action and civil disobedience by protesters whose goals have been to shut down all nuclear power plants. 3.1 The First Phase of the Struggles: 1957 to 1967 Opposition to nuclear energy first emerged shortly after the atomic bomb was built.

  • I Have Been a Longtime Fan of Singer-Songwriter Jackson Browne. I
    Ezk 37.1-14; Ps 104:25-35,37; Acts 2:1-21; Jn 15:26-27; 16:4b-15 I have been a longtime fan of singer-songwriter Jackson Browne. I particularly love his song: “Running on Empty”: Looking out at the road, rushing under my wheels; Looking back at the years gone by, like, so many summer fields; I look around for the friends that I used to turn to, to pull me through; Looking into their eyes ….I see them running too! Running on empty;…. Running blind Running into the sun;…. But, I’m running behind. What makes this song so compelling is that, sadly, all too many of us are, “Running on empty.” The song describes a lot of us in this world, both literally and figuratively. As an aviator, gas is very important to me. Gas is good; no gas is simply, “airplane becomes big metal falling object.” And, as a carrier pilot, with lots of wet, ocean all around, you always want full gas tanks. So, you “top-off” from the airborne “tanker” aircraft every chance you get. Much like a lot of people trying to “top-off” their car’s gas tanks the past few weeks! I can honestly say that, as a pilot, I have never run out of gas… in the air that is. On the ground is another subject. My husband, Mike, and I were driving to his parent’s home in Prosperity, South Carolina late one Friday night. And we had one of those ‘married couple’ discussions. I kept recommending that we should stop for gas; and he insisted that we could make it.

  • Chapter 4: INFORMAL FALLACIES I
    Essential Logic Ronald C. Pine Chapter 4: INFORMAL FALLACIES I All effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare necessities and then must be expressed in a few stereotyped formulas. Adolf Hitler Until the habit of thinking is well formed, facing the situation to discover the facts requires an effort. For the mind tends to dislike what is unpleasant and so to sheer off from an adequate notice of that which is especially annoying. John Dewey, How We Think Introduction In everyday speech you may have heard someone refer to a commonly accepted belief as a fallacy. What is usually meant is that the belief is false, although widely accepted. In logic, a fallacy refers to logically weak argument appeal (not a belief or statement) that is widely used and successful. Here is our definition: A logical fallacy is an argument that is usually psychologically persuasive but logically weak. By this definition we mean that fallacious arguments work in getting many people to accept conclusions, that they make bad arguments appear good even though a little commonsense reflection will reveal that people ought not to accept the conclusions of these arguments as strongly supported. Although logicians distinguish between formal and informal fallacies, our focus in this chapter and the next one will be on traditional informal fallacies.1 For our purposes, we can think of these fallacies as "informal" because they are most often found in the everyday exchanges of ideas, such as newspaper editorials, letters to the editor, political speeches, advertisements, conversational disagreements between people in social networking sites and Internet discussion boards, and so on.

  • It's Not Just a Story Any More
    (reprinted with permission from The Guardian, 4 August 1979) It's not just a story any more The phrase 'China syndrome' describes what happens if a nuclear plant backfires. Walt Patterson casts a professional eye over the film of that name and finds it alarmingly accurate. At the end of The China Syndrome, if the house lights don't come up too soon, you may notice an inconspicuous line far down the credits. After Best Boy Grip and Paint Foreman comes Technical Advisers [Nuclear] … MHB Technical Associates. Nowhere else in the publicity pack from Columbia Pictures is there any further reference to the specific technical content of the film, or to the technical advisers responsible. The coyness is curious, but understandable. In The China Syndrome the technical content is of a very different order to that, say, in Moonraker. In Moonraker the technical content is there essentially to astonish; its genuine credibility is irrelevant. In The China Syndrome, on the contrary, the technical content is central to the plot – and is moreover acutely controversial. It is not now, mark you, as controversial as it was before March 28 this year. The China Syndrome, of course, is about – among other things – the threat of an accident at a nuclear power station. The accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power station near Harrisburg, which occurred about a month after the release of the film, was a classical if unnerving example of life imitating art. When the film was released the nuclear industry was still talking about hypothetical accidents at nuclear stations.
