Re: Mislabeling
This approach to combatting anti-nukes is right on! We should do it.
But I think that the anti-nukes are not the real problem. We're not going
to convert them, whatever we do. We should really be addressing the same
people they address.
And, I know you don't want to hear it again, but our message will always be
vulnerable until we repudiate the nonsensical LNT/ALARA position that says
that radioactivity poses an unnatural, unprecedented hazard. (Why? Because
radwaste has such a long half-life. But, we have to remind people, mercury,
selenium, chromium, lead, et al. have infinite half-lives. And we've
learned to live with them, without turning the world upside down and
backrupting ourselves in the process.)
