That doesn't change my point. Tell me how there wasn't and isn't room for human error in either argument. Your point is merely convenient. Nice having a non-AC commenting btw,

Sigh... The real world doesn't work that way. It's really that simple. As long as there is a human element involved there is room for mistakes, for incompetence, for that one guy that was supposed to check the other guy's work but didn't because it's been a long day and he's tired and his partner always got it right before, or they've never worked together, or he's a rookie, or...whatever. I get what you're saying, but I suspect that you haven't worked in a field that has grave consequences for mistakes. Through training and discipline you're able to minimize risk factors, but at some point the stars align and something you didn't anticipate happens. Look at Corrections and early parole. The PO reviews the case, makes a decision to release to the community, the parole board reviews that, approves, and out the con goes. How many times have we all hard about recidivism (in some cases really nasty stuff) where someone re-offends and ends right back in the slam? Regulation helps, but enforcement has to come through audits and response. The 1st is usually random and the 2nd is after the fact. How does that stop the Boogyman from showing up?

As a West Coast resident, I really hope that's exactly what happens. I shudder when I think of the possible consequences to our food chain in the long term.

Oh right... cause THAT will always happen. Ever actually work in a union? Ever been a Brakeman? Ever watch an Engineer sleeping with his feet up on the console while riding deadhead in the 2nd locomotive who's actually supposed to be watching the rails and looking for hotbox bearings on corners? People fuck up. Employees get complacent. They break rules. There's no track-nazi following them around checking off lists. One brakeman lining the wrong siding can cause a world of hurt. A badly set brake can feel engaged and yet slip 10 minutes later. Best efforts can still result in horrible results.... If you decided to regulate that people make mistakes and break the rules you might just have regulations that actually work. There's a saying in the railroad industry. Heavy metal always wins. And you call him an idiot. I shake my head. Fuck, what a comment, AC.

Wasn't it the positioning of troops and bases worldwide during and post WWII that prompted the "World Police" positioning of the US? Apologies for no citation, I saw it on a documentary and can't find anything.

And will make you scratch and itch more than a hooker sweats in church.

I guess in the Military you'd be a ward of the state, stockade or not... right?

In Canada I heard that Corrections is required to continue medications and treatments that was initiated prior to them beginning their sentence.

Cause I can't find my Geocities page. It seems to have disappeared and I can't find it anywhere...

But he's talking about the battery, not the appliance.

Now now... Canadian Club has it's place in the world. CC rye and coke is the only rye it tastes good with though. Even Crown deserves to be left alone.

So in the past has it been more of a "I got there 1st" race to the patent office?

That they meant using drones to hunt. Had to read this one, I mean, imagine 30/06 armed drones for deer hunting! I gotta get outta here I think I'm getting a little unglued, This Friday can't end fast enough.

I always thought Amber was the one with the sweet, sweet candy. Huh. Mixed that up somehow.

I would love that, and why not? That's a great idea.
