That was when I realized <br /> that T could not depend on our leaders to cherish their own <br /> families, and I certainly could not depend on our leaders to put the <br /> good o£ the people ahead of profit, or to even use common sense in <br /> making decisions. <br /> Please, think about this. Do your homework, look at the facts, <br /> records, statistics around nuclear businesses and radioactive <br /> materials. Really look, with your heart and your mind. ~ 1~ G <br /> w...,.,.,,, <br /> D G1P , <br /> Iosenred <br /> ~:~t. n~ APR 2 ~ ~yyr <br /> <br />
