The Irrationality of Rational Actions

Instrumental rationality gone berserk: EPA-approved nuclear missiles.

You read that correctly. Environmentally-friendly ICBM's. Here's my favorite bit: "Thus, if the Minuteman III ICBMs have to be used in some future nuclear war, their rocket motors will not pollute the atmosphere. EPA regulations do not apply in foreign countries, so no changes are being made to reduce the harmful environmental effects of the nuclear warheads."

Ha ha ha ha ha! Now that's comedy!

Found this gem over at Tom Tomorrow's popsicle stand.
