Main entries

uranium rule / Don't do what you would not want uniquely privileged upper-class people to do -> on one hand, this rule is baked into Liberal-republicanism. on the other hand, many people don't succeed at following it all the time, and often stop following it at the worst times they could pick.
a name for this rule: uranium is bad if you let it out uncontrolled. Americium has a low level of radioactivity and in a sense is easier to dispose of (although the method is not complete yet apparently).
Americium rule / Don't do in an upper class or position of authority what you don't want common people to do -> rule followed by the Communist Party of China, but often not followed by elected officials in the United States.
