Re: Radiation Records Being Investigated
Right, Jerry.
It is interesting that rad-pros don't even blink when told by politician
Richardson, anti-nuke Michaels, et al., that the Wing and other junk science
studies are right! and for 50 years the rad-pros have lied about it! both,
that the exposures are safe, and that the dozens (100s?) of credible nuclear
worker studies show no effect.
Seems like saying: "I AM A LIAR! SEND [MORE] CASH!" Just like the workers who
(at least with more justification from a lack of direct knowledge) go from
defending and pride in accomplishment to seeking a place at the trough. And we
make fun of the Russians and other who claim 'damages' in order to get on the
gravy train. Must have seen "The Mouse that Roared" :-)
Now, if we can get a class-action suit with the people in Denver we can claim
"we've gotten even more dose than them!" You with me?
Where's there any integrity left inside the 'system?' Maybe we can recruit
Diogenes with a tritium-powered lantern. Can he find anyone before the light
goes out? :-) (Let's see, if we define "out" as 1% of the original source
strength, and the half life is...)
