Re: " Scientists Say Dirty Bomb Would Be a Dud "



Dr. Rozenthal,

Consider that while people may know about spiders and

flying, some still have phobias.  Do you think that

education about spiders and flying will make these

people less fearful?



Do you think that education about radiation will make

people less fearful?  There will always some who will

have great fears about radiation, no matter how

educated.  



I still say that education level is not directly

related to the level of fear.
