A significant portion of Bush supporters remains misinformed about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ties to al-Qaeda, despite the Duelfer Report stating there was no significant WMD program. Surveys indicate that 72% of these supporters still believe Iraq had actual WMD or a major development program, with many incorrectly assuming that experts share these views. The discussion highlights concerns about the effectiveness of media spin and the lack of access to objective news, leading to widespread misinformation among the public. Additionally, there is a notable belief among Bush supporters that the majority of the world supports the war and favors Bush, which contradicts global sentiment. This situation raises alarms about the implications of voting based on falsehoods and the potential consequences for society.

What's the penalty for non-compliance in the first two?

They fine you an immense amount of money, tell you to comply again. If you fail the second time, they shut down your operation.

Try working in a nuclear reactor and not complying with the NRC.

What the NRC does in response to a violation of the regulations or license commitments is dependent on the Severity Level of the violation. Sometimes they impose a civil penalty (which can be appealed) and sometimes they just issue the initial NOV.

The severity of the violation is of no consequence whatsoever if the violating body does not attemp to appease the NRC and prove compliance and or attempts at compliance. Shutdown will occur.

Sorry, but we don't allow links to sites that claim absolute truth that are in fact mostly unproven opinions. Opinion pieces are allowable as long as they clearly state that they are opinions.

Please be sure you've read The P&WA guidelines

Sorry, I missed the post where hotcommodity linked indirectly with a USA Today link; I'll try to be more indirect.
And I'll remember when an organization makes a claim like this "The Center for Public Integrity is a nonprofit organization dedicated to producing original, responsible investigative journalism on issues of public concern. The Center is non-partisan and non-advocacy. We are committed to transparent and comprehensive reporting both in the United States and around the world." they are claiming to be God.
