    I was there during the disaster and I’ll just say that radiation is terrifying. You know that it’s all around you, but you can’t sense it in any way. That’s a special kind of fear.

      I’m sure. And the government had a bias for action that led them to order evacuation. Evacuation isn’t terrifying, right? Well, unless you are elderly or in an ICU or there is already a flood and natural disaster in progress… They killed a lot of people with that fear based decision.

        You’re talking to a disabled person. You’re just doing a different sort of fear-mongering.

            I know all of that, but thank you for sharing it anyway. To be honest, you did. Your wording implied that I wasn’t one of those so severely impacted or that I somehow didn’t understand the gravity of the situation for the elderly and disabled.

            I know that wasn’t your intention, but it’s an emotional subject for me.

              Well I’m sorry for playing any part in that. You had just told me you were there so I knew you had direct knowledge of the event and didn’t presume to tell you you didn’t.
