Re: Suggestions?

Dr. Cohen,

Of course, the inclusion of the Japanese is ridiculous, but how to get
this across to the public by way of a forum that is as appealing to the
public as this list?

I am surprised that the 3 more seriously injured including one dead
Japanese weren't included.  I guess "69" gets more attention and sells
better than "3" or "one death".

It is truly sad when "journalists" equate "exposed to radiation" (as we
all are, including Reuters' journalists) with hundreds of deaths.  How
about the headline, 6 BILLION EXPOSED TO RADIATION! ?

To suggest that "exposure to radiation" may actually be beneficial would
certainly be met with outrage and the assertion that "the nuclear
industry, to the detriment of the public, has every person educated in
the sciences that is connected in any way with radiation under its
influence".

Just my own thoughts.
