     Kara,
     
     I don't know the correct rebuttal to the anti's claims, but I 
     would like to point out that the public's perception is a 
     seperate problem, not always based on knowlege. The anti is 
     trying to create a perception of risk, regardless of the facts, 
     and that perception is every bit as powerful as any true risk.
     
     I will also be looking for radsafer's comments on your posting.
