direstraits: [All-E] Re: About plutonium

Maybe we should take a thought for all those Guinea pig soldiers used
in Nuclear radiation experiments, for example, today in the papers
they were reporting on project Hurricane as the brits called it
whereby people were encouraged to swim, fish and play in radioactive
water and subsequently most died of different types of cancers
except for a few surivors who are still fighting for justice let
alone compensation!!

Nuclear energy even if it has the merits so many seem to want it to
have still has danger inherent in it's handling and use thereby
bringing into the equation dependance and trust that Human Beings
will always be as Saints and never abuse in the name of Greed, Power
and corruption.

That is also a thought is it not?
