Bill,
You have nicely described the
prevailing sentiment in Germany during the 1930's. Were that the case in the USA
during the 50's & 60's we might still have segregation. Bad laws and policies can be changed. Hopefully, future radsafe
people will be able to disdainfully look back at
what was the "ALARA period".

Whether you think that our legal system

It's not about dose, it's

Curies forever.

I think this speaks more to the
disreputable condition of our legal system, than to the wisdom of allowing
people to be responsible for their own actions.
