  I didn't see anything in Ann's argument that could lead anyone to conclude she's out of her mind. Quite the contrary she's educating a public about the truth of radiation and dispelling myths long espoused in the MSM about the dangers of radiation. Heck she even cited the NYT as a source to support her views! Do you lefties EVER open your minds or are you so ideological that you reject everything that doesn't comply with the party's talking points???

  She's right to an extent that some small radiation will not harm you. There's even radiation in bananas. She is not right that any amount of radiation is "good" for you. There is a difference between something not hurting you and something actually being good for your health.

  She NEVER said any amount of radiation is good for you! I swear you liberals just hear what you want! She said the government limits for safe dosage are well below what has been shown to be safe in various studies published by physicists! !

  dingdondingdonposted 12 years agoin reply to this
  Yes, she said studies have been done with five times the amount of radiation over the government level, and the results were positive. I haven't read those studies and I'm not a scientist, so I can't make a judgment on that.
  
  My issue is that she then linked those studies to the current nuclear crisis in Japan, and said (or joked? But it's not a joking matter, frankly) that the current situation is good for the men working in Fukushima currently. On this she is dead wrong. The radiation level in Fukushima is only one below that of the Chernobyl disaster - and every volunteer who worked to suppress Chernobyl died within the year after it happened.

  I didnt hear her say that but I think her point is that the safe levels established by the government are well below what can be considered safe and that no one knows what the safe limit should be. There is also different radioactive compounds and these may also have an effect.

  The problem here is what O'Reilly recognized. The irresponsible mixture of facts, opinions and faulty conclusions.
  
  Radiation of some types in small doses may be a tonic. True.
  
  The normal annual dose we get is 3 to 5 milirads. A dose ten times that high might be no hazard. Possibly true.
  
  The workers at the nuclear plant are being exposed to doses as high as 200 milirads in a short (not annual) span. Fact.
  
  Some of these guys won't live to collect retirement and they know it. My opinion, but I'm willing to take bets.
  
  If an explosion ruptured the containment structure and a complete meltdown happens and the prevailing winds take radiation inland, the high doses that the workers are exposed to will descend on the general population. Thus the evacuation.
  
  That Ann Counter can't see it proves she's a complete idiot. Likewise her defenders.

  So? What's your point, that we should all go and vacation in Fukushima? It's not an "either/or" situation, it's not as if there's a big scary windmill farm outside the nuclear plant that the men will have to face should they leave.
  
  Those men will die. Maybe not immediately, but should they survive now they will certainly die of cancer early in life. This is not something to scoff about, it's a terrible thing.

  There is nothing free about their markets though. You obviously have not worked inside of big business, as I have. I came out of college with such ideals. Then I saw reality. There has to be rules and regulations unfortunately, because the industry leaders are and stock traders are not nice, fair people who want to play by gentlemen's rules. They lie, cheat and steal when they can. There is no way for everyone, even go getters to achieve their goals without regulation, as the few at the top will take all of the money and nothing is left to go around. Money is finite so logically if 3% of the people owned 90% of the money for instance, how could all the other people, who even want to succeed make it? They cannot. You might hear a few success stories here and there, but most people who get rich did not start from nothing. Many come from families with money and with connections. Thus the rich stay rich. Unfortunately since this is how many big politicians start out, this is why they usually do what is best for the upper class.

Even if they put cas in the bank that money is then invested and loaned in some cases to young entrepreneurs with a new idea the market is just waiting for. No one ever said getting rich is easy its not its hard but nothing worthwhile is easy! Giving up and crying life us unfair and its not fair the rich are rich and you're not isn't the answer!

  Lady, I don't know the ins and outs of radiation, but this woman is borderline nuts. Read excerpts from her book that came out in 2009: http://mediamatters.org/research/200901040001
  
  She says Halle Berry race baited by saying she was black when she was half black and half white. This is truly one of the dumbest things I ever heard. She looks more black than white so why wouldn't she say she is black? Does Obama look white? Yet Coulter says he should say he is white.
  
  Coulter is part human and part Martian, so I can understand her wanting to say she is human. I am not sure most people would agree after reading her book controversies.

  I know a lot of conservatives like to talk about the explosion of wildlife around Chernobyl in the aftermath, but they ignore the shortened life spans and high rate of mutations of animals in the area. Even the plants show effects. I read an interesting article awhile back about some trees growing all cattywampus because the radiation had interfered with the hormone signals that tell them which direction to grow.

This woman is obviously an attention seeking fool who's hoping to jump on a particular band wagon for personal gain. It's utterly insensitive and poorly researched.

However, I'd say that the attention of the media over the nuclear element of the Japan crisis is overblown. Infact a lot is made of nuclear radiation levels and the link to human cancer epidemics when the death rate is not that much elevated against background levels.

The real story should be the ongoing humanitarian disaster after the tsunami and earthquake - but this is now over so the media focus on a "developing story" which they can sensationalise.

  I have certain religious views, however, I believe in a separation of church and state. Coulter's views are like the Church of England. They are both state religion. Seems like Christ said His kingdom was not of this world, so that is at odds with state religion.
  
  Look how the British monarchy, who claim to be the keepers of the truth, continually create scandal. That is sort of like the Republicans in our country. They claim to be the moral party, but since fusion of church and state is doomed to failure, morally speaking, they always get caught in scandals.

  I think your critique of the church of england is unfair - it's a historical state religion.

Our prime minister, deputy prime minister and leader of the opposition are atheists for example; I'm not sure you'd even get into congress in the US.
  
  I agree that the royal family should just keep well away from politics. We have an embrassing tit of a royal who's currently the UK's volunatry trade ambassador. Mind I feel a bit sorry for the kids who are mercilessly hounded by the media.

  You're right to be critical. There's a lot wrong with the Church of England; they are by far the country's biggest land owners and (staggeringly)their bishops gets to sit unelected in the House of Lords, for instance.
  
  I guess it's just a throw back to history - there was never the revolution as in the US or France. It's about as relevant as saying that the Queen is the head of state of New Zealand or Canada!
  
  It'll change over time, but I'm one of the few people who even sees these things as a problem here. Noone else really cares. It's difficult to try to explain, but I'd say we're generally comfortable and safe in our politics - we're not bothered - the church is seen as essentially harmless.
  
  I can see why to someone from the outside it appears troubling, but the church wouldn't dare try to exert pressure on the government. And if a minister was to invoke god in the way the US's elected members do, they'd be treated with a lot of suspicion and probably get a visit from one of the whips (people employed to keep mps within the party line)!

  Doesn't matter.....if they are her opinions, she is entitled to them, she can write them down, and if a publisher wants to publish them, more power to 'em.
  
  I'm sure you have no problem with the printed blatherings of Al Franken, though, right? Because he happens to be of the same mind as you?

  Yes, Coulter has a right to her opinions, a publisher has a right to publish them, and you have a right to spend your money to buy her books and listen to her speak. The same applies to Al Franken, Michael Moore, and David Dukes, for that matter. These are obvious facts, so what is your point?

  All these comments leveled at Ann for her opinions, but I'm sure the same level of critique is not pointed at guys that you happen to agree with.
  
  I like a lot of what Ann says but sometimes she does say things that make me say "Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?".
  
  Will you be as intellectually honest in your critiques of leftist authors and commentators? Because I don't see much of it (on these forums anyway)

  Well, the difference is that it is more often conservatives who may actually disagree with their own than liberals.......at least from what I have seen.
  
  Again, are you willing to be as intellectually honest when it comes to the blatherings of such leftist luminaries as Mikey Moore or Bill Mahr?

  I believe so, but if you ever find evidence otherwise on these forums, you can let me know.
  
  Re your statement that conservatives disagree more with their own, do you think the reason you believe that is because you mostly watch, read, or listen to conservatives and therefore are more likely to see disagreement?
  
  Also, did you read Habee's thread where she asked liberals about the recent military action in Libya? I saw quite a lot of varying opinions from liberals here.

Coulter is probably more entertainment than a real danger because few take her seriously. If we expect to get the straight scoop from our elected pols, however, they are probably not a great fact source either.

"Facing its biggest crisis in 25 years, the U.S. nuclear power industry can count on plenty of Democratic and Republican friends in both high and low places.

During the past election cycle alone, the Nuclear Energy Institute and more than a dozen companies with big nuclear portfolios have spent tens of millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions to lawmakers in key leadership slots and across influential state delegations."

Remember that Boehner and Obama said nuclear power was one thing that they agreed on. Small wonder.

  I'm also of the opinion that if government would learn how to live within their means and cut wasteful spending, they would have plenty of money for these projects you think we need.
  
  Or does that make too much sense?

  PrettyPantherposted 12 years agoin reply to this
  It makes complete sense. The question is not whether we spend too much money; most liberals would agree that our tax dollars are often spent unwisely. We just disagree on where the money should be spent and where it should be cut. I happen to think that removing the billions wasted on wars and defense spending, combined with a fair tax on the wealthy, would go a long way toward balancing the budget without hurting our most vulnerable citizens.

  That's not exactly what I said or meant, anyway, although I suppose one could interpret it that way. There is a LOT of waste and unnecessary spending in many federal agencies, but because the defense and homeland security budgets have been deemed untouchable both by Republicans and Democrats, fraud and waste has become entrenched.
  
  I honestly don't spend a lot of time worrying about who is the world's leading superpower. It won't matter a whit if that superpower's economy collapses due to misplaced priorities.

Wow! Citing specific scientific studies! That CRAZY gal!

People pay to be irradiated at Boulder Springs? It's nothing new.

One of Coulter's points is that the levels the scientific community adheres to may be more about an anti-nuclear power stance than about actual harm. Sort of like global warming is used to push the world population toward one world control.

She makes good points. Morons shut down their minds and open their pie holes hysterically.

O'Reilly had a good point too. It is not good to poopoo the dangers in this situation.

As an academic piece in a time when millions are not under imminent threat this would be simply interesting.

The really CRAZY and perhaps evil ones are the Japanese officials who are refusing to expand the 12 mile evacuation zone.

P.S. Spew on writers.
