Cass Sustein is so pleased; nudge nudge.
At least 1 section of the economy is thriving right now.
Please!? I think I’d worry more about a giant condor dragging me off the beach than radiation from Japan.
Yes, and for God's sake, don't forget to panic!!!
So where did this map come from?
The only danger is if kids are allergic to it.
Of course now I'm torn between staying prepared for an unrelated nuclear event on the east coast or making a tidy profit on ebay >:)
kb - I keep an extra pack on hand for you too. And I won't ever need them at all (no thyroid!).
I bought four bottles after 9/11, too, kept in a cool place.
Here’s what a physician wrote on our local NBC Bay Area website... FWIW:
David & all: Here’s a letter I lifted from the NBC Bay Area site (comments section): FWIW... “As a doctor, I find the surgeon general’s comments utterly irresponsible and potentially dangerous.
Potassium iodide (KI) is not a general purpose treatment for radiation exposure. No one should take potassium iodide without being instructed to do so. Allergic reactions are possible.
Further, there are a limited number of KI tablets available and those tablets should be provided only to those who are most likely to be exposed to highly elevated levels of radiation. Otherwise many who might benefit will not have access to KI while many who are nowhere near being exposed have the tablets.
I’m astounded that surgeon general, especially a Naval doctor, would be so unthinkingly irresponsible as to indicate that everyone in CA should get the tablets. She should be relieved of duty and a replacement found that is responsible, knowledgeable and understands the gravity of the situation.” (http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Surgeon-General-Buying-Iodine-Appropriate-118031559.html)
You should put them up on ebay. Seriously! I bet some moron will pay a premium price for them. If you do sell on ebay, post the link so we can all watch and laugh.
Thank God I bought all those shares in a potassium iodide mine!
Thank you for your kind note even though what I said was not directed to you. The person to whom it was directed did not get ‘disgusted’ like you. She took what I said differently. She and I have since then exchanged emails privately about this and similar relevant topics with none of the vitriol you seem to have.
Truthfully, I never read past your ‘disgusted’ remark. I really don’t bother with people like you.
ROTGLMAO!!! Thanks, you made me howl! :)
Quite honestly, if I could get them to Japan, I would gladly donate them.
I’m sure they’re outdated by now, but I would take great joy in extracting money from some Looney Liberal from CA.
ebay, huh? Let me think about that. Will let you know if I do.
panax
You’re right! I just checked ebay and people are bidding like crazy (even for outdated pills). I have 5 bottles of 200 ea, 65 mg.
Maybe if they sell the proceeds could offset the $1320.00 I spent today on Gold & Silver Eagles!
Brilliant minds, and all that! I posted the same link.
Ha! As Robert Heinlein so poignantly wrote:
When in danger,
Or in doubt,
Run in circles,
Scream and shout.

What an appropriate UserID.
