    It one thing to comment about something you missed or misinterpreted in a non-judgmental way but it another to slam someone's work just because they have a contrary view or published before you did. I see this quite often in the journals which is why I said over inflated egos.

    As for Balloon head.....well you know :D

    Me thinks you need to sign up for one of my history classes next semester. But hurry as slots close out before open registration time begins. (all courses from Prof Doggie are of the period 1846-1900 whether low level, upper level or graduate)

    Imagine if you will, all of the untrained Defense Department Workers, during the early days of the "Manhattan Project" They all handled by-products of that era, without the benefit of any rudimentary "Protective Gear!" The spills of radioactive materials were just everyday events, there is no telling how many of the workers were poisoned back then! A whole lot of patriotic workers were rendered ill and dying from prolonged exposure to nuclear hazards, as they were never informed about any dangers, from the sitting government during those early years! (Radiation Sickness, was rife!):eek::(:eek::(:eek:

    You are right sweety. That does make a lot of sense and there is no telling how many died doing it. We made nukes before then though so I also wonder how many Americans died being exposed to it also. All they knew then was that was some bad ass shit and I am not even sure they had the chemical suits to wear back then.
