I Love Miss Nevada!

This is not a sexist post or anything, I don't even know what Miss Nevada looks like since I didn't watch the show, but she must be the first women to ever say anything intelligent at a beauty pageant in history! I know this is a bit old, but I just heard about it.

Instead of getting the typical question like, "Do you love all the children of the world?" Instead this happened:
In Thursday's interview, Miss Nevada was asked by one of the judges about the
proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain.
The facility has to go someplace, and Yucca Mountain is the best-built facility in the country, Crystal Wosik replied.
And if people die?
"We just have to take one for the team," she replied.

I love this quote! Take one for the team, absolutely classic! You can argue the pros and cons of nuclear power, but she resisted the easy politically correct BS answer to come out against nuclear waste dumping without providing any other alternative. It isn't black and white. If there isn't the nuclear waste dump there, it will be somewhere else. Or if they use a different type of power, there are many other issues.

Taking one for the team probably was a statement no one at that shindig expected to hear. Lets face it, Nevada is a big empty state, and it would be one of the logical places for storing this poison.

A Miss anything who isn't a emotionally charged illogical mess must make her one hell of a woman.
