It comes down to a matter of control and nobody can control every scenario. It's unrealistic, and we should stop pretending a utopian society will ever exist.kalynbrookehttp://www.thefeminineintellect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633361416485591575.post-57914871581720873462012-01-16T20:47:04.998-08:002012-01-16T20:47:04.998-08:00I'm glad you like the quotes -- I have good ti...I'm glad you like the quotes -- I have good time hunting them down. I like the phrase "goliath bills." And I've wondered the same thing -- who are the spooks who write them, and why is that legal? dDeana Chadwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904002435811922875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633361416485591575.post-73728511454798626302012-01-16T17:15:39.053-08:002012-01-16T17:15:39.053-08:00Dee, this is a great series.

They just spew the talking points to the media.

One result was that there were so many regs nobody could remember them all, especially if we were handling cargo over the side in a seaway, or some other think-fast situation. Mostly things went well as long as the experienced men kept their wits about them, and we neophytes listened to them and did what they said to.<br /> --Dave Harvey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
