In my civics class today, our teacher asked us a neato question


say you were a congressman and the government was trying to deposit nuclear waste in your district, the government and the EPA deduced that this was the safest place to deposit this waste in the U.S.

but the people of the area dont want it there.

what do you do? (dont mention whether you are for or against nuclear energy, because thatll jsut turn it into a debate on that) go with the nations wishes, or with the people of your area's?

Well you're there to repressent the people of your area so i'd be against it if the people don't want it. Or try and persuade them that it isn't that dangerous.
