Del, you know I think the world of you, and we hardly ever disagree on anything, but your beliefs about the safety of nuclear energy and mine are so far apart I am not sure what to say. I think I'd better do some more research, and try to figure out why our opinions are so diverse, because it is puzzling to me.

Anyway, this is your statement:

<Radioactivity? Remember that the animals that are now inhabiting the highly radioactive area around Chernobyl? They don't seem to care that it is radioactive, they're just glad that there are no humans around to bother them. Those dumb animals are just ignoring the anti-nuclear propaganda.>

Now here are some human victims speaking--paintings and poems by the children who actually suffered, provided by an Irish charity that tries to help them. I think their works speak for themselves, and I don't think it has anything at all to do with anti-nuclear propaganda. Have you even read about the huge incidence of cancers in the survivors of Chernobyl?

Del, the nuclear blasts used for testing above ground are miniscule compared to the power of today's nuclear warheads.

If we had a fullscale worldwide nuclear war. Life as we know it would never be the same. The world will have been made incapable of sustaining human life above ground.

That's one of the many reasons why "Mutually Assured Destruction" has worked.
