[ RadSafe ] Change of topic: example of how news stories affectthe public

[Flanigan, Floyd]

Well Put Dave. Not living in a clinical, controlled environment, it is very difficult to establish cause in many cases. I agree completely.

I believe the court system in determining if Sr-90 is the cause should look at other potential causes. These include but are not limited to:
Living conditions of the children. such as chemicals used in cleaning the house, chemicals used in any pool, garden, lawn upkeep, etc.

Where the children play and go and any potential hazards there such as mercury, lead, etc.

It is easy to blame something, but much more difficult to prove.
