Now that statement is a total and utter lie.

I apologize for my last post to you. Your liberal-like attack made me angry. Stick to discussion of the topic if you can. Do not resort to deformation of character.

The material I have read indicates that a great deal of radioactive debris is escaping from those reactors into the sea and into the air. The reactor containment vessels have degraded and the waste rod containment ponds are leaking.

How is it a “liberal-like attack” to state the straightforward objective truth? To qualify as a “liberal-like attack” typically involves the usage of lies and half-truths to deceive the audience, and my comments did the exact opposite with the objective truth in a manner no more confrontational than the grave allegations you negligently made against an entire industry without a shred of truth or justification. Take for example the over the top accusation you made by saying the Fukushima radioactivity was far worse than the Chernobyl disaster. The Chernobyl disaster has been compared to the release of radioactivity from 400 Hiroshima atomic bombs set off at one time. Here you are trying to promote fear and loathing about the Fukushima disaster claiming it was worse than Chernobyl, when in fact the radiation contamination is less than one ten-millionth of the radioactivity, which is a level more akin to eating bananas on a daily basis or the exposue eceived by the aircrew of passenger jets in flight around the world every day. With that level of negligent, I hope, disregard for reality, why would you not expect a harsh criticism of such unwarranted hysteria, fear, uncertainty, and doubt? Don’t you understand such improper and ignorant commentary in today’s political climate is something akin to shouting fire in a crowded theater and then wondering why someone would be mean enough to sternly remonstrate your misbehavior? And please, don’t try to argue “deformation of character.” It’s defamation of character, and you are not being defamed. If there is any defamation, not “deformation”, going on here, it is your own defamation of the people and organizations you associate with a level of radioactivity which did not even remotely occur in any but the wildest of Liberal fantasies.

Based upon your comments, it appears you have not the remotest understanding of the material you are reading and using as the basis of your comments. Let me emphasize, this criticism is not offered as subjective hyperbole. It is offered as literal and objective fact. You talk about “radioactive debris” as if it is some lurid and monstrous calamity on a scale greater than the Chernobyl disaster, which quite literally reveals how you fail to understand the difference between a banana and 400 Hiroshima atomic bombs with respect to the levels of radioactive exposures they release into the environment.

Until you can refrain from such wildly hysterical hyperbole long enough to have a sane discussion, you’re opening yourself to some very strong criticism for disseminating such hysteria.

I suggest you take a long and hard look at the various methods used to measure and describe levels of exposures to radioactivity and their application to determining the short-term and long-term effects upon human health. Until and unless you can gain a realistic understanding of how radioactivity effects are determined, a rational discussion of the risks of nuclear power plants and radioactive materials is not going to be possible.

Saying some thing is a lie is defamation of character? You were called on something and you were wrong, but your feelings were hurt.
