Reply #17: "Fukushima situation and the way some people react to anything said about any level of radiation" [View All]

...that's from your OP.

Yes, we're all stupid people who have such minimal understanding of science, that we're skeptical of the official reassurances--- or as Richard Alvarez, fmr. assistant to the Secretary of Energy under Clinton put it, "The Spin is all about reassurance"

Sure, it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME there is a nuclear accident, the reflexive word from the authorities is "there is nothing to worry about, the public is in no danger"- before they, themselves, even know. From Chernobyl to TMI. Every god-damn time. Then, years later, when cancers start showing up, the response is "prove it".

So please, spare us the hand-wringing about how people are "overreacting" to this monumental, unprecedented clusterfuck.
