[ RadSafe ] SCAREMONGERING FOR FUN AND PROFIT --RE: The Bereted Wonder and his Pills

[Steven Dapra]

Oct. 14

         A modest correction if I may --- this is not "misleading," 
it is out and out deception, as well as being so opportunistic it is 
repulsive.  I wonder where Busby bought those junk pills, and how 
much he paid for them.  Perhaps he needs a new yacht. . . .
