  19. The great horror writer H.P. Lovecraft once said,
  20.  
  21. "The greatest emotion of mankind is fear, and the greatest fear is

  24. I suppose that if you saw something glow (from cerenkov radiation), or
  25. produce HUGE amounts of power from very little matter, you might be
  26. frightened if you didn't know why. Also, many people still believe that
  27. nuclear power = nuclear medicine = food irradiation = big, nasty bombs.
  28.  
  29. That is how Greenpeace brainwa... works with the public sector.

  31. Followups should be directed into a more "non-scientific, opinion-based"
  32. newsgroup (yeah, right).
