Re: the public's perception about Radiat ion

["Zack Clayton" <zack.clayton@EPA.STATE.OH.US>]

Ruth, if you think perception is anything new, think about the folk adage,



"Don't bend over to tie your shoelace in your neighbor's melon patch."   And all the countless variants that warn against giving the wrong idea about something.  



Perception counts and is not always rational.  You can't argue effectively against an irrational perception with logic or fact.  The perception must come up against a real choice that causes re-evaluation of the idea or belief.  An example of this re-evaluation is coming to California this summer  in the form of "Roasting in the Dark vs. new power plants"
