 It has been asked several times recently "where is your compassion?"  It
 seems to me that the best expression of compasion for ignorance about
 radiation health effects is to cure that ignorance. >>

Dear Radsafers:

On point. As a youngster growing up in the late 1950s, I used to be a 
philatalist [collector of US postage stamps if it ever comes up on "Who Wants 
to be a Millionaire?"]. I remember a series of stamps issued over many years 
called the "Champions of Liberty" theme honoring great Americans. I believe 
it was no less a figure than Thomas Jefferson who was featured on one stamp 
with the quote:

"I have sworn eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind 
of man."
