You are talking about values, not facts. You have a case of the ass because people care about the consequences of the Fukushima Meltdowns when you don't want them to. To that end you trot out a totally offbase argument that boils down to an assertion that unless a given disaster is the worst disaster ever, no one should be concerned about it.

It sounds dumb when it is clearly stated, doesn't it?
