Agreed for the most part. There is one point I would like to make on the cardiovascular disease vs industrial accidents (which nuclear accidents is a tiny tiny TINY tiny percentage of) it's personal choice. We choose to eat the junk food, knowing it is bad. While a coal ash spill, or a nuclear accident, is something we have no control of. *shrug* If I picked up smoking, and died from lung cancer, that would be my own fault, and I would honestly accept that. On the other hand, if I died from complications from chemicals that have leeched into the drinking water near where I live, (courtesy of spills at Hill Air Force Base) I can see that I would be rather angry at HAFB. *shrug* perhaps when you think about it, dead is dead, but a lot of people are more comfortable picking their own poisons rather then having them picked for them. It still doesn't justify the attention that the media gives to nuclear accidents, vs much much worse problems.
However I doubt I am alone in finding more comfort in the results of my own choices, then complicates beyond my control. (This concept probably goes a ways to explain why people dwell more on this type of thing)
