As long as they don't find out I made a goof.

    You should have seen the psychedelic mess I made when I spilled a pallet of over thinned Oil Colors. Probably could have sold it for a cool million...

    Appropriate disciplinary action is being taken. Meaning... They will likely get an official letter of reprimand in their permanent file, to be removed in 6 months if no future incidents of this nature occur within that time.

    After all - it IS a government Agency staffed by Civil Service Workers... their union would probably get anything harsher overturned.

    I've been in plenty of production factories and metal smelters. Rarely have I encountered a situation where an individual made a mistake that they know could cause another significant harm or even death, and not done something about it. The fact that no harm happened in this case is more a testament to the caution of the researchers and that they treat every sample as potentially harmful. That does not remove the responsibility of the person who made the mistake initially.

    Yes, of course, it was Robbie's headliner and only your comment about "anonymous rudeness". I should have been more observant. My bad.

    The fate of "other people" is a consequence of the actions of many, including themselves. Cheryl Taggart's suicide and what happens to Eddie Willers are the classic examples of this in AS.

    I confront. I leave a note under the windshield wipers: "Hey, retard! Color inside the lines!"

    As for this, you know coal miners die all the time. You never hear about it unless for some reason, like 12 at once, it makes the news. Steel workers in mills die by ones and twos. Cops die. Firefighters go out in squads. (http://necessaryfacts.blogspot.com/2014/...). What you are doing is using the deaths of others to put a headline on your own anti-government agenda.

    It's related to what I've been calling "anonymous rudeness": a car parked taking up two spots, for example. The person who commits the act is never confronted by the person who was inconvenienced by it - so we have a society of people who do, indeed, say "so what?".
