[ RadSafe ] Makhijani picocuries (IEER letter to EPA)

[Bob Gallagher]

I have difficulty understanding why competent individuals on radsafe even
respond to the likes of Salsman and the other environmental kooks that post
stuff on radsafe. By responding, you give these guys an opportunity to
rebutt and it contiues ad nausium.

Ever wonder why more people don't input to RADSAFE. Cause there is almost
nothing of importance being dicussed.

Ceratinly not uranium and heavy metal poisoning. Nobody cares.

Ordinary people believe in ghosts, goblins, extrasensory perception, magic,
and intelligent design, too. So should our regulations reflect these, too?
Or should we let Salsman's neighbors write our regulations from now on?
