I was just wondering why all the HP's don't just love and hug all those people 
who say that even one "smackerell" of deadly radiation needs to be "squashed" 
and eliminated. Do you have any concept  of the JOB SECURITY that comes from 
such an attitude? What kind of empire can be built on the purely altruistic 
devotion of protecting every member of the work force and the public from the 
nefarious femtosieverts of the world. How much will someone pay you to give 
them or society eternal life by trapping this "bogie man," called  radiation?

Just my random thoughts, on a day when I should be working instead of writing 
this; I guess I will work overtime this evening.
 
Thanks, John P. Hageman

A group of 6 prominent health physicists sitting at a table in front 
of a Congressional hearing, and one by one they state their name, and 
state categorically "I do not believe that radiation causes any 
negative consequences, whatsoever." Sound familiar? Simply change the 
word radiation for tobacco, and that's what the scene would look 
like. Far fetched? ......
