[ RadSafe ] Recent Events

Radsafers,. I by far do not agree with all posts of Joe, though I enjoy many of them. The thread he opened is more than welcome for me, because I still think that such topics are essential for radiation protection scientists, who have a better insight in these topics than somebody who has to make money  by selling instruments and services. We should know at the latest since the Manhattan Project that scientists are misused by politiians as puppets for their political games. 

Furthermore I think that it is not the task of a RADSAFE member to urge all other several thousands to stop a thread, especially since its continuation shows interest in it. . 

Best regards, 

Franz
