Re: we're still our own worse enemy

The flight attendant did not know whether the release was radiation or 
contamination.  She sought out a knowledgeable authority, asked her question, 
listened to the answer, and her concerns were alleviated.  

And for that, her basic education is criticized?  C'mon, cut her some slack.

The airline flight attendant wouldn't have been worried if her basic
 education had been geared toward encouraging her to figure out,
 dispassionately, the answer to her concerns.
