Look you posted something about 15,000 Americans died from US radioactive fallout in 51 years since 1952 and cited an unpublished govt study as proof that you are right. That is less than one person per day. Now you want me to disprove it. Nope. That is not how it started at all. You made a comment about protection against radiation which seemed silly to me. I said this sounds like the advice given to people in the 50s. So far I was not even talking to you, but it was fair for you to pick it up. Then you came back accusing me of taking cheap shots at America. What a load of crock! I told you that I am not interested in taking cheap shots at anyone and I have no agenda in this. You can go back and read the whole discussion from the start. I also told you the advice given to people could have been due to lack of knowledge, but that did not change the facts (i.e. bad info to the public on radiation). We went back and forth about this a bit and I told you my opinion was based on TV documentaries. As it turns out, others have seem similar documentaries. And if you bothered to go to the USA Today site I linked, you would see a photo of a soldier watching atomic mushroom and other related info...but that was not the point. I did a quick search on net and posted an article I found on the topic. By then, there had been quite a few posts between us. Then I talked it over with Michael. And after all that, you went on and still go on nit picking on an article which I just proved accurately referenced the USA Today...and guess what, the report has NOT been published. So it was no conspiracy to say "unpublished document". If you are not happy with the study not being made public, go talk to the government. There seems to be Senators who wants the same study made public. This discussion had nothing to do with the content of that article. It had to do with accuracy of info given to the people. The only way you can dispute this is if you can show documents that the government properly warned the public and the army on dangers of nuclear radiation and fall out in the '50s. Because that is what we are disputing and not the number of deaths. But beyond all that, you go on accusing me of some anti-American conspiracy because you did not like the article. Any time I see someone who wraps himself too much in the flag or in the cloth, I know they are trying to pull a fast one. I did not really care about the topic one way or another. But you pushed me for it by making it personal. And this had nothing to do with the article.
