My thoughts?

That this vanity post is a tremendous display of ignorance of:
- radiation
- health physics
- dilution effects

This vanity post is also an example of what fearmogering can do. You are a Freeper. And you are now wondering why the government isn’t taking care of you better. And now you are looking to spend a bunch of money (on a Geiger counter?) which will only tell you that you have background radiation all around you.

An ignorant person with a means to measure radiation will soon learn to fear his granite countertop, his smoke detector and his Coleman lantern. And maybe even his bananas, his basement and that outcrop of rocks behind his house. But his seawater isn’t going to change using an instrument that measures disintegrations per second.

Kidd, my husband has a PhD in science area and he is concerned, tho his area is not nuclear engineering, physics or dilution effects. Do you have a PhD? Are you a nuclear engineer?

If you have something to add, I would appreciate it.
I did not know FR has become a libertarian site.

I believe the Federal Government should protect our borders. That is why we have a Coast Guard. We are spending bunches of money for all kinds of crap.. such as Barry’s junket to FLorida this weekend....monitoring the water is not unreasonable and outrageous....

I don’t know...that is why I asked, and I appreciate the thoughtful comments.

So you are basically saying, don’t ask questions, trust that it is no big deal, don’t worry, and btw, I should not expect the government to monitor nor should I monitor myself...Got it.

Well make up your mind - is he wondering why the government isn't taking better care of him, or is he willing to spend the money to buy the equipment to find out for himself? And if both, how then is your insult not internally contradictory?

That this vanity post is a tremendous display of ignorance of:
- radiation

And your insult is a tremendous display of ignorance of CONCENTRATION VECTORS, such as algae, kelp, shellfish, FISH, fishING, EATing FISH, the FOOD CHAIN, ocean oxygenation vulnerabilities, and related BIOLOGICAL and INDUSTRIAL FACTORS.

But I must say, the absolute brazenness of your absolute trust in absolute Statism in the name of rejecting absolute Statism is matched only by the nastyness of your personal insults. But the insults make sure no one notices your hypocrisy, so I guess that's pretty slick on your part. Staying hidden, I mean. Lots of training behind that kind of technique. Impressive skill.
