This discussion isn't going anywhere. What we see in the above comment is an 

attempt of one persuasion to debate another for their use of symbolism and 

questioning the ethics of such comments. We all know that any group that is anti 

another group, is going to use all kinds of hyperbole, slogans and innuendos. Just 

look at the most recent political campaign in your own community. One of my sons 

works for PETA (they are a little radical as well as the anti-nuclear forces). One of 

their campaigns was MurderKing. There are others. Does Burger King murder? Of 

course not. However, it was their slogan and it made a point they were trying to get 

across. I see no difference in the Mobile Chernobyl. I see it as ridiculous. Is it 

unethical? I don't think so. If we have a problem, then get out there and set the world 

straight. Constant discussion on Radsafe gets all of us nowhere.
