Madam Curie was Wrong

Marie Curie stated "Nothing in Life is To Be Feared, Only to Be Understood"

She was wrong on several levels.  

1) Her pursuit of her Precious killed her via leukemia.
2) Some things in life are to be feared, even after they are understood
3) When a Pro-Nuker is speaking, you should fear the fact than many People will believe them based on confusion and the so called sanctity of science.
4) Grizzly Bears - no matter how well understood, should be feared

and

5) Cherubs, always fear Cherubs

  4. I had thought radiation killed Mousiour Curie too, until i saw the 1943 movie "Madame Curie".
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036126/

    He was killed in a traffic accident with a horse carriage, when a wheel went over his head and fractured his skull, apparently. Very sad.

    Quote: "Pierre Curie died in a street accident in Paris on 19 April 1906. Crossing the busy Rue Dauphine in the rain at the Quai de Conti, he slipped and fell under a heavy horse-drawn cart. He died instantly when one of the wheels ran over his head, fracturing his skull." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Curie#Personal_life

    Did that happen in persuit of "the precious"? The movie indicated that he was returning from purchasing earrings for his lovely wife. Perhaps i am in err though.

    As human and hopefully humane-kind we all make mistakes.
    Of course, that is a big problem with "nukular" power, especially when unwilling to admit fallibility, no?
