RE: COGEMA Says No to LNT



Fritz,

Obviously, what I am saying is that laws and regulations are not written

based on scientific studies, but by the actions of legislatures and

governments.  Unless you live in some ivory tower, you should know that

because you and a collection of friends think that regulations should be

changed it will happen.  Have you contacted your legislature and told them

the truth that they should obviously know?  This list server provides an

outlet for a lot of frustrated people who think that the world should listen

to them and only them.  That is not how any government, except

dictatorships, work.  



I would also ask what do you mean by the LNT?  In cells, mice, yeast?  Do

you mean an immune response in humans or responses to ionization that may or

may not lead to cancer after many years.  If biology was like physics, it

would be a lot easier to demonstrate cause and effect. 



I should also remind you that as Einstein showed, even measurements in

science are relative to the frame of reference.  



Have a good week.

Hi John,



Are you implying that scientific truth depends on the involvement of a

government or a legislative body?



I hope not!  Best regards,



Fritz
