Re: more st lucie workers expsoed
Many thanx for your voice of sanity in the face of the prevailing closed minded,
knee jerk reactions to anyone who doesn't support the party line. The really sad
thing is that they're so predictable. It's either: (a) a media [or ICRP, NCRP,
...] conspiracy, (b) Radiation's good for you, it's just that (a) keeps people
from realizing this, or (c) [fill in the blank] kills more people than
radiationit's just that (a) keeps people from realizing this..
I want to continue to hear from Norm.
As I've said: (1) Our critics make us stronger. (2) Our "friends" are killing
us.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
