From the article:

"One thing it might have noticed, for example, is that it finds itself enacting a curious inversion of Atlas Shrugged. In Atlas Shrugged, you'll recall, the private sector shuts down and the entire US economy collapses. But in the revised Obama version, what happens is that the public sector shuts down and what the US begins to realize is how amazingly well it can survive without the meddling of, say, the looters of the Environmental Protection Agency."

    Is that what they call scientist in the field? Vulcanologist? I thought that was the field you went into if you are less interested in learning Klingon. (j/k) Lol.

    We can hope it works this time that the regulatory agencies are just a sucking black hole and not necessary.

    Mt. St. Helens Volcano Cam is shut down:http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/

    Kilauea Volcano Cam appears to be working: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cams/panorama.php...

    Kilauea is USGS, St. Helens is Forest Service. Interesting.
