Al hit the nail on the head. The bottom line conclusions is, we know 
not of what we speak. If we health physicists aren't convinced that 
there are doses at which level there is no risk, how are we ever to 
convince the public that not all radiation is dangerous. Based on 
Al's survey results, I say we've already lost the war, not just the 
battle.
