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
