Another excellent anti-nuke site is http://www.antenna.nl/wise/ .
I particularly enjoy to on-line calculators at http://www.antenna.nl/wise/uranium/calc.html .
Personally, I don't think that the problem is in
using the internet as a source of information. I think the problem is that we
tend to take all media information at face value and we turn off our brains. If
someone on the street tells you that Martians are attacking, you say:"Yeah,
right buddy." If the same message comes in a radio broadcast, you grab a gun and
shoot at water towers, because they look like Martians.
My friends who have escaped from eastern block
countries seem to have quite a different response to media information. Instead
of blindly believing every word, their first reaction is "OK, what kind of BS
are they trying to pull on us now?" They would be more likely to believe the guy
on the street rather than the (government controlled) media.
Our media is largely not government controlled.
That does not mean that there is no agenda. It would probably be wise if we
didn't hit the off switch on our brains when we see something in print, see it
on TV or on the Internet.
