The Consequences of Our Actions- assignment 1/21

It is easy to see that Terry Tempest Williams is very passionate about her family and how her community has been affected by nuclear ffallout. Her story is very moving in the way she justifies her beliefs on nuclear testing. It's really sad that so many people had to deal with the after effects of nuclear testing and that, at the time, the government wasn't willing to compensate for damages. I believe that the government should compensate for the families affected. It's a tough issue to say that the nuclear testing was unnecessary though. It was hard to know what to do during the Cold War, with everyone being scared of what might happen. I don't blame the U.S. for doing the testing but it's a shame that families are developing cancer and that the U.S. government seems to not care.
