You Don't Even Live Here (Negativland)

Sir, there are hundreds of people outside. They can't get in. You have even gagged us. You have not allowed us to speak at this hearing. We asked you to stop construction of the plant, and you didn't listen to us. You didn't listen even to your own two consultants of the advisory committee on the reactor's safeguards, when they said that this plant is dangerous. You don't have to talk, you don't even live here, you have no stake in this (??). You told us that a Class 9 accident was incredible. Our fell ow citizens have learned too painfully that you were WRONG AGAIN! The NRC said that the money eight years ago, money would never be a factor in licensing this plant. Yet today self-righteously you made claims that we've got to get this plant licensed because any delay costs the plant millions of dollars. Sir, may I remind you that, as tax-payers, we in this community pay your salary. As taxpayers, we pay the NRC's salaries. As wage-payers, we pay PG&E's salaries. We, sir, are paying for this whole goddamn proceeding, and you won't even let us talk!
