... I hadn't really paid too much attention to your posts in the past. I have to say though, after listening to you for the last two days, I think you are really out there. I am sure you believe in what you are doing, but your choices of words in your arguments, like "mega-corps" and "right to their privacy from Fukushima radiation" and of people being "oppressed" by radiation from a plant half a world away, make you come across as a paranoid, unbalanced person.

And phrases like "There are universal laws that should be followed or there is just anarchy." sounds pretty peachy, but is not based in reality. There are no "univeral laws that should be followed", as many will disagree as to what those laws would be.

So, in the spirit of "active environmentalism", when are you going to attack some nuc plant with a pick-axe? We need to make sure we have press coverage.

I hope people are preparing to attend regional DOE public meetings. STORAGE & the pressure to patrice Feb 2013 #1
