RE: more st lucie workers expsoed



Ted,

I did not see where Norm said there was a problem.  I do think it is

important for some on this list to comment on the article, but do not blame

Norm for what is written.  Actually, I think the article is fairly

innocuous.  



I think that Norm is actually providing us a service.  He tells us what is

being disseminated by the news media, so we can judge for ourselves its

value its content and respond if we choose.

Ok Norm - since you presented this - what's the problem here?



This is extremely minor - a bit above an office worker getting a paper

cut while filing.



Of course measures could be taken to INSURE 0 exposure - just like

measures could be taken to prevent paper cuts.  But when the cost is

weighed against the benefits - it isn't rational.  It just drives up

costs unreasonably - which I am sure is quite alright with you.



I'd say the most significant thing here is that so minor an incident

makes such big news - which atests to the lack of more significant

incidents to splash across the headlines.  If so liitle an incident is

so unusual as to be so newsworthy - then they must be doing a pretty

good job in general!
