I guess I meant splitting the atom and then using that breakthrough for other, more nefarious uses. But I wholeheartedly agree with you ... it isn't the same logic. ;-)

And I also agree that movie science fiction is a major culprit. That, and conspiracy theorists who watch the history channel shows on Nostradamus and the Bible Code and other end of the world predictions (2012 anyone?) when they should be watching "Friends" reruns.
