Re: Meeting public demand
My point, exactly. This is but one more example to refute those who say that,
if only the "public" had the facts, they would make the right decision
regarding radiological risks, i.e. the "media-Clinton-Norm
Cohen-toothfairy-hollywood celebrities-..." antinuke conspiracy. Such
thinking is, at best, naive, and is generally a Linus blanket for those who
want to be victims.
I hope that Radsafe does not degenerate into a Cave of Adullam. (1Sam.22)
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Let's look at the real problem, for a change.
