[ RadSafe ] [AmericanDUST] Radioactive Progress, You Say?

[John Jacobus]

Roger,
How have radiation professionals ceded the floor to
Cathy Garger, et.al.?  What has campaigning
accomplished?  Has any new laws been initiated?  Has
any radiation-related industries been harmed by this
BS? 

The truth is her view is and will remain a minority
even to the public. Otherwise, they would not have to
seek publicity over and over again.

““Few of their children in the country learn English... The signs in our streets have inscriptions in both languages ... Unless the stream of their importation could be turned they will soon so outnumber us that all the advantages we have will not be able to preserve our language, and even our government will become precarious.”
-- Benjamin Franklin, circa 1750, on German immigration to Pennsylvania
