6. The truly sad and unamusing thing about the 11-March-2011 event ...

... isn't the increase in people developing cancer in later life (as that's been trumpeted
left, right & centre for ages) but the more than 15,000 actual fatalities that have been
brushed under the carpet as they haven't been newsworthy enough for most people to
remember.

The sadly amusing thing that I referred to (as you know) was that a supposedly
technologically advanced government was "afraid that a 'demonic chain reaction'
would ensue".

You know what I think of the corrupt & short-sighted people in the nuclear industry
and I know full well that "Just because the nuclear industry says it ain't so does not
the truth it make".



The expected increase in cancer rates wasn't what I was laughing at in my previous post
but, in the grand scheme of things, it is still positively hilarious compared to the way that
those who have already suffered have been forgotten so quickly.
