You need to be able to look at both sides of a story and make up your own mind. When you read the opinion piece you get the opinion or the writers’ agenda. I agree that people need to be better educated on radiation and nuclear power and not dismiss it on raw fear.
Liberals tend to lock on one idea and get angry when others do not agree with them. Name calling usually occurs when they lose the discussion. Just because radiation can be dangerous does not mean it should be feared.

My science background prepared me for the task of evaluating opinion and data, reading through documents like John Gofman’s radiation studies, the international report compiled of physicians data for the Chernobyl region: http://www.strahlentelex.de/Yablokov%20Chernobyl%20book.pdf
and the National Academy of Sciences BEIR VII report as well as the competing documentation put out by the nuke industry to confuse and distort the issues.

YOu say that “I agree that people need to be better educated on radiation and nuclear power and not dismiss it on raw fear.” but you are the one who displayed absolute ignorance of science by employing the old nuke industry talking points in your posts upthread leaving, sadly, bananas out of it for some reason.

You then say “Liberals tend to lock on one idea and get angry when others do not agree with them. Name calling usually occurs when they lose the discussion. “ as if you didn’t name-call me a ‘liberal’ for disagreeing with you. Anyone wishing to refer to actual documentation can read through my posts on FR and conclude that I am not a liberal.

Lastly you say “Just because radiation can be dangerous does not mean it should be feared.” It isn’t radiation I fear, it’s the lies, incompetence, arrogance, manipulation, and excessive power of the nuclear industry propped up by the government.
