know what you are shooting?

Skinny,

It is very easy to say "this should have been done and that should have been done". In essence, it is very easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, or for those of us that watch Monday night football, a Tuesday morning quarterback.

Do you think Cheney might have been in shock, denial, etc. During a crisis, there are seven stages that people go through, I cannot remember them all, and the length of time it takes to get through all of them depends on the individual person.

When you are on the outside of the entire situation, it is easy to see what should have been done. However, when you are on the inside, it isn't as easy.

Like I say, we all like to think we will do the right thing when the crap hits the fan, but until the time comes to make that decision, you cannot tell me for sure that you would do the right thing.


Skeeter,

Accidents do happen, and they are just that, accidents. An accident is something that is unintentional. Albeit, it might be the result of somebody not following the rules, etc.

For instance, how about the single car "accident" because of black ice? Is the driver truly at fault for that. How about when a tree falls in the middle of the road and causes an "accident," or should I just call that a crash?

In the, most accidents are caused because somebody is careless/negligent and/or not obeying the rules. However, sometimes accidents happen even though all the rules are followed and everybody was being extremely careful.
