[ RadSafe ] Educating USA antinucs

[howard long]

"So what have you done to educate these people?", you asked, John.
 
I took my palmRAD (Berkeley Nucleonics) to a meeting of CARE at LLNL
Visitor Center, sat in the front row near the 7 person panel of anti-nucs and 
conspicuously listened to its clicking while they gave speeches
accusing LLNL of making the environment radioactive.
Those chief activists conspicously pretended not to notice that refutation 
of their statements, but some of the 100 present did. 
A few of the quiet LLNL personnel present did snicker. 
 
I wear my NukAlert continously and show it at every opportunity, writing the 
www.nukAlert.com address on my card for fire chiefs and other first responders,
with the reminder that many are available without charge for them.

What are YOU doing to educate the Anti-Nucs, John?

Howard,
Carrying a Geiger counters and Nukalerts is sending
the wrong message. It has to do with education, not
gadgets. I do not know of a single HP who carries a
meter around with them.

I would not waste my time doing it your way. How
successful have you been with yours? 

I think it is about time we moved beyond nuclear
weapons. Our deficit is big enough.
