Now, this is a very interesting question Birdgirl!

Why is it being brought up now?

If it had its day in the 80's, which I'm takeing your word on it, its illogical to bring it up now.

As I type this tho it brings to mind something I saw while watching fox news.

While discussing Katrina, and the flooding, they were mixing in video of Chernoble with video of New Orleans.

I still have no idea why they would bring Chernoble up, but were giveing death stats and injury reports from Chernoble on the ticker at the bottom, all the while discussing Katrina.

Maybe they have a shortage of news events to report, i mean its got to be hard with a whole channel running 24/7 to fill all that time with news.

I really dont know, but it smells funny, looks funny, and its leaving a strange taste in my mouth.
