I think that's its more of a comment of how we treat the Natural world - basically as a resource to be used at our convenienc(or in this case a trash can).
RE: uranium - yes, that's true. But naturally occurring uranium is not nearly as radioactive as artificially enriched uranium and the toxic waste resulting from nuclear reactors. It's normally considered safe if it stays where it's at. It's when we start digging it up when it becomes dangerous. Plus, uranium is naturally occurring in mountainous regions, not in caves, where generally speaking it is safely out of contact of groundwater.
On a similar note.. I'm so glad Indiana authorized BP to dump more mercury and sludge into Lake Michigan... it's not like anyone else is affected by that decision, right? sigh

Hmm, well I suppose it'd be silly to point out that caves (well mines) are typically where uranium comes from to start with?

Yeah... scary stuff.
