RE: Treatment of radiation accident/terrorism victims

[Jack_Earley@RL.GOV]

And the problem would be . . .? I know--let's all throw our hands in the air

and say that since it isn't easy, let's not try. In fact, in spite of our

best efforts, it may not occur in most of our lifetimes. So let's not even

make the effort. I wonder what the antis said when they were first

considering the prospect of facing the nuclear industry and the supportive

national governments. Why even try? Back then, the average newspaperman

didn't even have a college degree. And yes, they were mostly men. And hardly

liberal. (Description recently provided by NPR.) So who's going to help

them? They helped themselves.



If I recall correctly, the largest insurance category today is reinsurance.

Started by a young woman at Enron who had an idea one day and sold it to

their business enterprise group. And if I further recall correctly,

something like 75 percent of the companies listed in Fortune 500 20 years

ago aren't even close today. They became complacent. Maybe they had an

industry group w/ local chapters that contributed to their apathy. Maybe

they had an ICRP. Maybe they don't exist anymore, because that was what they

were trying to protect above all else.

Jack,

    And after we finish that simple task, perhaps we can next eliminate all

poverty and disease in the world.
