Here's perhaps a less sensationalist story about DU , but no less upsetting. The 400,000 number is highly misleading, though ... it might be true if you put all of that material in one big pile . Since gamma radiation is, well, radiation, it weakens at a rate consistent with the square of the dista...

I saw this movie last night (whilst on a first date ... but that story is for another time) and like most (if not all) Michael Moore movies, it made me angry. First of all, Michael Moore is an attention whore. Let's just get that out in the air right now. You know it, I know it, and the American peo...
