Bad Promotion Of Getting Radiation Exposures

Here's a bad 20/20 piece on the myth that radiation is dangerous.  Of course, "dangerous" like "safety" isn't an objective measure, it is subjective.  And certainly in the normal subjective sense that people use those words and in relationship to the small radiation doses that people receive, radiation is not dangerous.  It is safe.

But just because we're exposed to it all the time, and "some people want more it", aren't rational reasons to want more of it.  The clip features Edward Calabrese, who I've blogged about in the past.   (The clip is several years old, but someone just uploaded it on YouTube so it caught my attention.)
