40 Years to decommission Fukushima means in your lifetime, that of your child's, and possibly your grandchild's, the oceans and land in both hemispheres will be void of healthy foods and drinking water.
40 years means that no country's medical scheme will be able to cover the debilitating illnesses which will be common place, and deformity will become the norm.
40 years means that the Occupy movement is redundant because long before 40 years is up we will be equal - we will all be part of a new mutant species incapable of being occupied or occupying.
40 years makes the scientific and political dream of a human colony on another planet science fiction, because no system, not even a hermetically sealed one, maintains itself indefinitely, and the seed like its protectors and donors will corrupt.
40 years means that conspiracy theorists and world enders are trumped at the finish line. A hidden red planet which sucks the life off Earth, or a meteor devastation, or a super volcano will be a blessing, a quick end to a burdened body and mind.
40 years is probably closer to the truth than the Japanese authorities have ever come, but the news is a non-event, as if we are already drugged to the reality around us. We are like sheep to slaughter, unseeing and uncaring that in 40 years we may momentarily wake and ask, "Why did we not react? Why did we not respond to save ourselves from this?"
