As for the guy that died horribly after filling his boat, have you ever
made
a mistake? Should you have died screaming because of your mistake?
That's a little harsh, isn't it?

Harsh? You Bet... Life is tough, and then you DIE..... Yep, The guy
should, and did, DIE, because he made "a Mistake", actually he made a
couple of mistakes, and the accumulated consequences of these mistakes,
KILLED Him.....

1. He didn't understand the nature of the technology he was using...
He didn't understand that Gasoline Fumes were explosive,,,
2. He didn't turn on the Bilge Blower for 10 minutes to clear the
fumes..... or the Bilge Blower wasn't working....
3. He didn't have a Fire Extinguisher in the Engineroom, OR he didn't
have one big enough, to put out the fire....

These things are REQUIRED Knowledge, for Gasoline Powered Vessel Owners,
and when one doesn't acquire the requisite Knowledge, for safe operation
of a technology, then one sets themselves up, for the consequences,
intended, or unintended, of their own choices.....

Being Stupid, doesn't remove the liability for the consequences of ones
choices, or actions..... It only makes them more inevitable....

Well, I sure hope you have better luck should you ever make a mistake!

I make my own "Luck", by doing my best to understand the technology that
I use.... and understand the intended, and unintended, consequences of
situations, that I find myself in.... Most folks have learned to do the
same, but it is apparent that you haven't... and that is your problem,
not mine... If your one mistake from Dying, then your just to Stupid to
live... and are inline for a Darwin Award... Most folks are in the 3 - 4
Compounded Mistake area, and usually they see the unintended
consequences, far enough ahead, that they choose a different path....
apparently that is not your forte....

Most people try not to make mistakes but pretty much all do. You must be
something different, something better, something infalible, something more
advanced - - - WAIT!! HOLY CRAP I'M ARGUING WITH GOD!!!!
I guess you haven't figured it out yet, but we're all one mistake away from
death.

Now there is some real Logic.... NOT...

From the above:

1. "Most people try not to make mistakes but pretty much all do."
2. "....we're all one mistake away from death."

to surmise....

So, Sonny, if YOU make one more mistake, which you acknowledge, above,
that everyone makes... Your going to DIE .... Good for you... At least
you will then, not be frequenting this newsgroup with your Goofy
Ideas.... Couldn't happen to a nicer guy..... don't let the lid of the
coffin, knock you in the head, as they lower you into the ground.....

What a Moroooon... (Bugs Bunny Definition)

Not being much of a rabbit fan (except in the pot) I had to have that
explained to me once. I did not think it was funny then and I don't think
it's
funny now.


I think I've fallen prey to another of Neals personnas. Or maybe a new chest
thumping troll out to prove his online machismo. Either way....

I would say two mistakes away. That first assumption was a mistake, by
the way! Tom
