I see it more as a challenge... a call to improve.

The anti-nuke activists that I have conversed with have skills the call "critical thinking skills". However, I have yet to meet any that demonstrate the grasp of the subject that I or any scientist would call "critical thinking".

Most of what I hear from the anti-nukes are misunderstandings or ignorance of the laws of physics and science.

Their opinion is based on erroneous information; which is why they come to erroneous conclusions.
