Re: free speech



Ted,
    Why not? Because you can't prove a negative! Certainly, you can show that killing thousands of people would be highly improbable. However, to an innumerate public, failure to prove that a given consequence is absolutely impossible only shows that---
It could happen!

I'll say it again: false statements are harmful, but failing to respond with the correct info makes them much more so.  And we're still doing it.  Have you seen ANY simple published statement to the effect that you can't kill tens of thousands of people by attacking a spent fuel shipping cask?
 
Why not?
