What I am trying to say is that it's no worse at limited levels than lots
of other things.  Yeah car accidents are different.  You don't have a
little car accident every time you drive.  Air pollution, second hand
smoke, etc are the same.  You get a little damage from each exposure and
overtime if the exposure is high enough it can cause problems.  Most people
pannic because they don't understand radiation.  Comments like "cough up
blood, and glow" to us who know are obviously severe situations but to
thoes uneducated in such things they are frightening.  I belive that you do
understand the phenomon but thik you are exagerating the real risk.

(Sorry but those who are tired of this, will hear no more from me on this
on the list.)
