Funny thing, isn't it...
People totaly wig out when they hear of nuclear power - "ooh, it's nasty, you can make bombs out of it, thats EEEEVIL" Then they do bad street theatre by dressing up as skeletons and Uncle Sam.
Wierd thing is, you NEVER see a crowd of hippies waving signs saying "NO INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES! NO CHEMICAL EXPLOSIVES!" Both of which have killed way, way more people that nyookyular-anythings.
Funny old world, aint it?
Oh, and er, Jean-Luc? Unless they invented time machines, there is NO WAY Wolverhampton College could have been teaching FORTRAN on IMB PCJRs in 1973. I'm just saying.
