-- William Ruckelshaus, former administrator, Environmental Protection Agency, 1988  The distinguishing feature of hegemonic ideologies is that they require no proof or argument their validity is assumed, understood, and ratified by convention, norms, and accepted bound of discourse. Thus those who challenge this dominant set of ideas typically are the ones who must bear the burden of poof that, in this setting, actually defies argumentation and evidence.
-- David Noble, historian, Drexel University The plutonium industry is really safer than it was 15 years ago, and in five years it will be safer still. The production of plutonium involves a multiplicity of dangers; the public should be made aware of them and demand that the industry invent and apply every better safeguards.
-- Donald E. Michels, Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant Official, 1972 The public does not have to understand what is going on in biotechnology....But people need a perception that somebody is looking out for their best interests.
-- Warren Hyer, Bio/Technology, June 1986 Nobody is stupid. Nobody needs a degree to understand that the wool was pulled over our heads.
-- Ruth Mansbach, critic of biomedical research lab expansion We're losing facilities faster than they're being replaced, whether it's prisons, power plants or hazardous waste treatment plants....We're rapidly getting to the point where we're going to be in a crisis in many of these areas.
-- Keneth Portney, Tufts University political scientist We should remember that risk assessment data can be like the captured spy; if you torture it long enough, it will tell you anything you want to know.
-- William Ruckelshaus, administrator, Environmental Protection Agency | |
