	When pointing out deficiencies in linear- no threshold theory, 
how about including all radiation, not just radon. We are spending 1000 
times more to avoid low level radiation in cleaning up government labs 
like Hanford (hendreds of billions vs hundreds of millions) while the 
radiation doses being avoided are thousands of times less (annual average 
U.S. dose <<0.1 mrem vs 100 mrem).
