Re: Truck carrying 'low-level' radioactive tools crashes
I don't get it! Why are the legislators the killers? They aren't the
"experts!" They're just as gullible as the reporter or the brainwashed HP.
The killers are those that lie to them! The NCRP/ICRP/IAEA/BRER. Even the
reg agencies are not "the experts." They (the leaders) ignore their own
scientists to "follow the experts." I.e., BEIR et al. Of course, the agency
"permanent bureaucracy" do make sure the people given funds and whose
careers are furthered in research and appointments, are the malleable,
self-serving, types to populate the review committees without making waves
in front of the focused agendas of the anointed leaders!
But who's to blame? You are! A quote from another group:
"I remember a well laid out article some years ago called 9 steps to
bondage - the first and last are apathy."
There are "sins of omission" as well as "sins of commission!!"
