I had a little flu this weekend so I spent alot of time watching the TV. Almost every chanel had live coverage. Oh sure they had to ask the important questions to family members-- like how do you feel right now that your husband / dad /son is probably taking their last breaths as we speak? And all that BS as they zoom in to see them break down. Now I know I have a chip on my sholder, but we got fellow Americans beeing fed to the death trap overseas, and the news says-- OH YEA --5 dead yesterday, but enough of that-- now for our comercial break, and right after the comercial a expert will tell us what we should or should not wear to be in style for x-mas. (Perhaps I should have said holidays) If I do a government job of any nature I must have my Insurance on record, bonded, and a whole lot of red tape. This includes a very detailed description on everything--including all product breakdown, as well as inspections, saftey proceedures, and if I screw up my government will assist me in my oversights and fine me so I learn my lesson by taking my business up that famous stream and putting me in the poor farm the rest of my life. Now some folks with poor judgement climbed a mountian and risk a whole bunch of lives to save their butt. So ok I'm a real hard butt, no no no not by any means, I am the old boy on the volenteer fire dept, and EMS in our small town, help drive a VA volenteer van, (just got a attitude today) Finger prints, background check, check for insurability, and a physical are demanded. --yea been there, done dat, and even bought dau t-shirt.
So on a smaller scale, and in defence of the mountin climbing folks (and another chip on my sholder) Someone can get behind the wheel with a few to many and kill another etc. etc. The Fire dept-EMS-Law inforcment can roll out in the middle of the night regardless of the weather and then worry that (a attorney that gets to think two years) so as to figure out if they did everything not only right, but could the emergency workers have done better? I know they have Insurance, but shouldn't they have had more? They are all are required to be trained to know, why not better? Also while we are at it the person that poured the drinks had better pay for their improper judgment don't you think? Thank the good Lord the law protects the drunks rights so that if they are HIV positive, those sorry people who tried to save his life & should have ordered gloves that could not tear, and on and on---. Well the law does say they do ----NOT-- have the right to be notified if they are exposed. You bet everyone else should have known better. Sorry everyone for venting--I feel lots better now, perhaps that ol thunder mug I been sitting on (more than watching TV) ---gave me a attitude. Probably the laws will change overnight and all will be better after I have my nap. It is probably sad or at least to bad we do not have laws that protect mountin climbers, they could have escorted them guys with a chopper 24-7. I'm sure the climbers are heros in someones world. In all fairness we have had alot of warm weather here, and every year we deal with the ice fishermen on the Mississippi River that think they can walk on water---or next to it. Most of them will not get in our boat (if we can get to them), with out their fishing gear being put in our boat first. We have a saying in our local fire department--Well not all the stupid ones are in jail!!! NE IA Dave
