Waynes OT Thread

I just wanted to get my two cents in and I figured the thread was so long now that no one would see it. most of you were griping about goverment interference and I would be the first to agree that it goes way to far. Don't forget the good that comes of it also. Anybody remember the pictures of Chernobyl with the guy's mopping up reactor water with dust masks on their faces? Don't you think for one minute that that would'nt happen here if it wasn't for OSHA and other regulatory agencies. I'm sure that some of you have worked in shops and a piece of equipment was jury rigged or a safety feature was disabled because it would affect the bottom line if the money was spent for a proper fix. When I was a kid in the late '50's there were almost no bird or prey no turkey and very few deer. Gov't regulation and stocking programs brought them back. There was a small town about ten miles from my childhood home that had it's dump on the flats, on a river bank once or twice a year it would either be lit or just caught fire. The whole valley would fill up with acrid black smoke. Goverment regulation stopped that. Remember the Cuyahoga river in Ohio that actually caught on fire? Industry did not clean it the government did. Industry is always gonna do things as cheaply as possible and with out the big bad intrusive government the robber barons will kill as many as they think they can get away with. Ther exploding Pintos, Ford did a study and decided it was cheaper to settle with the victims than it was to engineer a fix. Thats my rant!
