Add into this that the government promising these extra payments and care doesn't exist anymore and has been replaced by 15 different ones (some actively hostile to those resettled in their lands during the USSR) who probably don't even pay those 400RUB, you can see that the liquidators really haven't been treated well following the disaster.

Not necessarily so. John Stewart Mill, whose ideas contributed to the founding of our constitution said the goal should be the greastest good for the greatest number of people possible. Socialism can’t achieve this. It’s been historically proven time and time again in the 20th century. Maybe try pullng your head out of your ideological ass and then acutally try to use it to think for yourself.

I just watched "Being Evel", the biopic about Evel Knievel. It's a pretty well rounded view of the rascally true blue American daredevil/hero. I particularly enjoyed the scenes of the pandemonium at the Snake River Canyon stunt. I was there, 13 yrs old. Pretty wild stuff.

anyone who hasn't seen the king of kong... you've got to check that out. it's in my top ten favorite documentary list.

I recently became aware of 'The King of Con', a response documentary exposing what fraudsters Walter Day and Billy Mitchell are. Which I think everyone realizes since the Billy Mitchell cheating scandal broke, but this goes in depth and has new information from some of the people featured in 'King of Kong'.

Now Billy Mitchell has issued false copyright strikes to get Dwayne Richard's documentaries exposing him removed.

He's rehosted them, although there are traffic limits on them so availability is touch and go.

If you put together Chasing Ghosts, King of Kong, and these two, you've got several decent hours of entertainment derived entirely from bickering manchildren.
