People such as yourself seem to feel the need to slap a label on someone who expresses any sentiment which deviates even a little from your quasi-religious fervent beliefs. The lazy thought process that leads to an "either you're with us, or you're against us" has no exclusive quarter on either the right or the left, but infects both.

I am no proponent of nuclear energy. I am a proponent of the scientific method. I am a proponent of logic which means that I am by nature intolerant of hyperbole. I am a proponent of evidence-based action. I am generally disgusted by fear-mongering and chilling! purple prose.

I am not qualified, but if asked I absolutely would assist with cleanup efforts in Japan. I'm sure I could be of more use to the Japanese people than those who are running about in circles with their panic button stuck on 11.
