There's far more people dying from the government collecting their cigarette tax and we won't mention the children dying unwanted. But nuclear power represents freedom, most ran by the private sector. Just like the private sector health care system, the automobile industry, the financial system, the government must take over our private sector nuclear industry to increase their control over the people. Simple agenda really...

>> It its reasonably likely that unlike Chernobyl not a single death will be conclusively linked to this nuclear incident, which wouldn't mean it didn't kill anyone (although that's possible too), only that if it does the actual death will come after a long time and be hard to pin to this incident. Its essentially certain that the earthquake/tsunami related deaths that are not nuclear related with be much larger than the early deaths from radiation release. I spoke with a friend last week whose child and grandchildren live near Fukishima. My friend is an engineer and health physicist. He characterizes it as a "big problem, but the people there are good and they know what they're doing". As you did, he also made the point there are no radiation deaths but tons of Tsunami/quake deaths. The overall tone of the conversation was that the media is acting in a way that is counterproductive. Of course, the media have moved on to Libya now, so I guess that's that.
