- No, Victor. The subject of the press release was the claim that there's a 1 in
- 17 chance of a CANDU reactor experiencing a meltdown. Drop your intellectually
- dishonest pose and address the fact that the commercial was intended to be seen
- by lots of people whom Greenpeace never expects to read the report, and whom
- Greenpeace can confidently assume will assume a time frame of one year of less
- for that probability. C'mon, Victor, you know that much propaganda. Quit
- your lying and address the issue at hand. Or is that asking you to mar your
- otherwise pure anti-nuke ideological stand, tovarisch?

- Victor, do you have a problem with the English language? I'm talking about the
- goddamned TELEVISION COMMERCIAL, which GreenHype can confidently assume is ALL
- that most of the viewers will ever see.
-
- Jeremy: Did GreenHype mention *ANY* time frame at all in their commercial?

- Sorry, Vic, but it seems a most accurate description of you, given your posts.

- Da, tovarisch. Aren't you the same Victor Yodaiken who, a month or two ago
- praised socialist governments because their avowed aims coincided with your own
- ideology, despite the fact that their actual records showed no correlation at
- all with their avowed goals?
