Re: Kamen & Flower's Saftey Violations: Kickoff

You know when the school health nurse advises "always wear a condom"?

She doesn't actually mean "ALWAYS".

I think Dean and Woodie have a pretty good idea of when they need safety glasses and when they don't.

I tend to think that I am equally capable of making that decision. However, the rule is that whenever I am near operating robots and or pits, etc. I must wear safety glasses. Unless some sort of mystical aura surrounds some folks and not others, I think the rule applies to all.

All animals are equal.

PS: Also, the one-time infraction is equally serious (or not ...) for all. This strikes me as a tempest in a teapot.

Exactly, and therefore other animals cannot be more equal than others. Those animals including Dean and Woodie.

Sometimes people who have been doing things for 19 years become complacent ... and that is the exact moment when someone gets hurt.

Dean and Woodie are in a position to influence many people. If they can have a 'good idea' when not to be safe, what does that tell all the kids watching them?

Dean and Woodie made a mistake by not wearing safety glasses. 'Nuff said.
