Re[2]: About this list

[Vincent.King@doegjpo.com (Vincent King)]

     Personal experience:
     
     I had the opportunity to ask Ralph Nader how he could put nuclear 
     power plants on his 'hit' list when coal burning resulted in real, 
     rather than hypothetical, deaths.  This was in the mid-1970's when 
     he gave a talk at a mid-western university.
     
     He mumbled something about coal having problems too, added a bunch 
     of lawyer double-talk, and absolutely NEVER addressed the question.
     
     His 'concern' for saving human lives is based mainly on the 
     political mileage he obtains from it in my humble opinion (and as 
     observed firsthand).
     
     And it taught me that the anti-nuclear movement doesn't care about 
     facts at all.  The dishonest ones ignore facts for political gain 
     and to disrupt the 'system'; the honest ones ignore facts because 
     of their pseudo-religious belief that they are somehow saving the 
     environment.

Yo Neon,

I've met and listened to Nader speak on several occasions, and "charismatic" is
the last thing that comes to mind.
Dull is more like it.  I won't argue that there are opportunists in the
anti-nuke
field, but Nader isn't one of them. And yes, while he's got a few bucks, he
lives
modestly and by his principles.

Its a shame you are leaving this list, Radsafe could use more like you.
