RADIATION. That MUST be dangerous!

(Whaddaya mean that radio waves are only weakly interacting and so low-power that at best they can bounce an electron to a higher valence level? Then why do they call it RADIATION!?! Even that electromagnetic thingy sounds dangerous; it has a lot of syllables!)

I don't blame people for science ignorance, I'm ignorant of many scientific fields. Of course, I don't pontificate and legislate about those fields, which puts me one up on lots of folks.
