[meteorite-list] Read it and laugh!

[Count Deiro]

Dear List,

The suffering Japanese have enough "real" threats and consequences to shoulder without the added fear and panic being spread about a possible "nuclear meltdown" in the media.

No reactor has "disappeared". Nobody, not even the guys in the white smocks on scene, has been exposed to a level of radiation remotely harmful. Nor will they be. They did get knocked on their butts when the quake hit and the exterior "hall" subsequently blew because of accumulated hydrogen/oxygen.   

The USA did not send any cooling "material" to the scene. A bald faced lie by Clinton.

The evacuation ordered is to cover the power consitorium and the government's ass from the inevitable flood of liabilty claims that will inundate the courts after this tragic event runs it course and the lawyers crawl out from under the tables and things begin to return to normal.

Read the sensational headlines implying nuclear Armageddon has already occurred and then peruse the body copy. Without fail the stories are prefaced by the qualifiers.."May","Could","Might". Nothing definite. All supposition and cynical fear mongering.

Stay calm,

Count Deiro
