Re: Security at U.S. Nuclear Labs Called Unacceptable
I appreciate your frank response to my concerns. However, I also ask you to
attempt to be more objective in evaluating statements, even if they are issued by
someone you consider hostile.
I'm convinced that the reason the antinukes are successful is not because their
arguments have great merit or they run some conspiracy with the news media.
They are successful because the seem to take away our capacity for critical
self-evaluation. We seem to have a circle the wagons, shoot the messenger
attitude. We thus too often fail to find and correct our own problems before our
critics find them for us.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
