Henh and there I was thinking I was prescient.
SPYDERLK, thanks for the clarification.
Do you know how many people die of the thing that killed them 20 years later?
Well, the Japanese probably have a web site with the stats from our atom bombs and I'll bet the casualties past and present run into the millions. Read somewhere about how many US troops, used as lab rats, died of cancers after testing the dang things, too.
Not long ago I read a background piece of casualties from Chernobyl and it seems the casualty numbers go from the absurd to the fantastic - nature of our times I suppose, but woefully depressing, nevertheless. Especially since Chernobyl fall out was killing Colorado deer deep in the wilderness. This beautiful Pacific Northwest is inundated with Fukushima fallout. Who do I thank?
I was surprised, when researching how long the human body could live, that more than a few sites supported 125 years. There seems to be nothing on the cause of why not now, but my take on the matter is that it has more to do with the chemicals coursing through our bodies from our food, water and air. Heard a radio guy say he had his blood tested and there were some 180+ foreign chemicals in his blood. Another sign of our times, I suppose.
Anyway, if I don't want a man-made/manipulated deadly substance to pollute my body, my family and/or anybody else, it would only be polite to allow me and everybody else to "just say no!"
It is kind of you to honor Nancy in this way.
I applaud your efforts to abstain from radiation to the extent you are able, and I won't call you a hypocrite if some gets through.
