[NukeNet] Fw: Response to Nuclear bandwagon

[The Roy Process]

To: NukeNet,
The other day I heard on the George Noory radio talk show
that most people..are already exhausted.

Most people don't want to ...make waves against the status
quo. They like steady pay checks. And there is far more profit in
mischief, in killing people, in a toxic regime, in genocide,
in anti-environmentalism, in nuclear power...even to save their butts!

They don't want solutions....so quit  making sense! Most people take
their steady pay checks and shut-up!

Dr. Helen Caldicott's new book, "Nuclear power is not the answer"
will explain the title in detail.

Regards,
Dennis F. Nester
