[ RadSafe ] Reasoning the Unreasonables (frm:Chernobyl's Reduced Impact)

[Maury Siskel]

Hi Barbara, Thanks, I'm glad you were able to find it. That kind of 
sentiment is beyond the pale for me, but I guess to each their own. I am 
grateful for the accuracy to clear up the claimed quote. Guess now I 
will go ahead and subscribe to  PETA -- People Eating Tasty Animals ... 
And I do agree that there is a rather clear, falsely promoted, 
prevelance of radiophobia in the US.
Cheers,
Maury&Dog.  (Dog understands)
