#1 Berzerkeley's anti-nuclear ordinance originated in the early 80s during a fad for such declarations in communist satellite municipalities within the US, such as Berkeley itself, Madison, Cambridge, and many minor outposts in California and the northeast. Initially, these were worded to prohibit any research on behalf of nuclear weapons organizations by anyone in the city. This would have included forms of research that involved nothing more than reading, writing, performing mathematical operations, or writing computer programs. Moonbat lawyers recognized pretty quickly that these would run afoul of the First Amendment. They were instrumental in getting their comrades to water down the ordinances to the simple requirement for a declaration of compliance from city contractors.

These ordinances' actual purpose, of course, was to weaken the US nuclear weapons program in an effort to strengthen and assist the Soviet Union in the Cold War. After the Soviet collapse this took on a life of its own, except for a small benefit to the PRC and North Korea, being deeply embedded in the psyche of the traitor-cult that runs places like Berkeley. With Iran on the verge of acquiring nuclear capability the American anti-nuclear movement may once again have an aggressive outside client who will pay well for its services.

#2 Btw, I got a routine invitation to bid on a Berkeley city contract a while back (for geo-survey services).
I would have used it for toilet paper but there was no telling what kind of evil commie germs it was carrying.

#3 No more Scotch tape in Bezerkley. Post-its must be out too. Idiots.

#4 Somebody should start a rumor that the book scanners are nuclear powered, so if you are exposed to them too much, it will make you sterile.

I bet a lot of them would bite.

#5 Because it's all so easy to play like children, not to be forced to acknowledge that their insular community is tied to the statewide/nationwide electrical grid that includes nuclear power plants. How about chopping those powerlines and going it alone [without evil coal or oil either].

#6 Can we cut off all aid to Berkley and let the fuckers starve?

Please?

#7 Then they better get rid of all the copies of Mao's Little Red Book. Last I heard, the Chinese had nukes.
I wonder if Berleley has one of those Juche committees KCNA is always bragging about?

#9 Just wondering....based on what Bright Pebbles said....does the People's Republik of Berzerkley get any of their power from nuclear plants?

Do they allow doctors to have x-ray machines?

#10 They're on the grid - so they get what's put on the grid or get's what's shifted around with the nukes providing a shift someplace else.

#11 Someone should run for office on a ticket to force Bezerkely to power itself solely with Wind + Hydro + Solar.

Socialism should only be for socialists!
