AW: [ RadSafe ] BBC reports There is no single cause forGulfWarillness, researchers have concluded

[Stewart Farber]

Regarding radiophobia and exploitation by some of trivial radiation risk:. I 
recall from my stamp collecting days as a child, a wonderful quote by Thomas 
Jefferson  on one of the late 1950s vintage "Champions of Liberty" series 
stamps:

"I have sworn eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the minds 
of man"

John:

You are right in so far as the combination of letters "p-h-o-b-i-a" does not 
occur in this paper.

Yet, I maintain that nevertheless terms used by Durodié like
-- "exaggerated perception of risk",
-- "politics of fear",
-- "demand for blame" pushed by some "resolute few"

do relate and pertain very well also to radiophobia as one of the

-- "illnesses of modernity".

BTW:
"Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from 
the public purse."(Adlai Stevenson)

Unfortunately, any attempt to prosecute such behaviour as the criminal evil 
which it is would ultimately result in restrictions of freedom of opinion 
and of speech so that we have to live with this evil.

Regards, Rainer

Rainer,
I scanned the article and did not see any reference to radiophobia or phobia 
of any kind indicated.

I think you are reading too much into this article, which is what the 
anti-nuclear people also do.
