Re: Nuclear Carrier Arrives In SD

	As I read this email, I was/am currently listing to a local (San Diego) PBS station (KPBS) and they are having a discussion with various anti-nuclear groups and local residents regarding the John C. Stennis arriving in San Diego.  One of the moderators is a local congressman who, it appears cannot even spell "radiation" and the discussion group includes the Captain of the carrier himself.

	Its been quite entertaining...for instance did any of you know that the Chernobyl accident was caused by a spilled cup of coffee - do tell... "and you know", said the caller, "the same thing could happen here in San Diego". 

	Oh well, we do live in country where everyone is allowed his/her own opinion (most of the time).
