I have little respect for many of the neo-Luddites who belong to
anti-nuclear groups. However, to claim that EVERYONE who has mixed
feelings about nuclear energy or is flat out against nuclear energy
knows nothing about chemistry and physics is bilge. There are nuclear
physicists who are against nuclear energy, for Ghod's sake. Get YOUR
facts straight, mister.

But the thing I find most offensive about this posting is the slam
against people with liberal arts backgrounds. Perhaps some of the
semi-literate chemists and physicists I've known can study their
culture, instead of taking classes on overspecialized topics that tell
them nothing about why they're narrow-minded, asocial, and incapable 
of communication. Liberal arts bigotry is as ridiculous and offensive 
as hard science bigotry, n'est-ce pas? Sheesh.
