- You ignorant fool! While it's true that Nitrogen is cheap and plentiful,
- making up the majority of the atmosphere, the true beauty of this amazing
- element is in the rarity of compounds containing it. Nitrogen forms compounds
- of extremely high potential energy. WIthout the benificent Nitrogen, we would
- never have protein, or most explosives. Now, how can you beat that with a
- crude, slutty element like Cesium that goes around combining with anything
- around it. Why, it's almost as bad as flourine and sodium. This is a moral
- and a family values issue; we must ban Cesium immediately as it is a bad
- example for our youth.
