Re: KillieTalk Digest V3 #1387
Jim,
I spent over ten years as an instructor and instructional designer in the
F-16 factory in Fort Worth, Texas. My experiences with management made me
respect the Federal (non-defense) agencies like OSHA, and EPA more than ever.
Workers were screwed and the taxpayers cheated by the behavior of
management. That's why the A-12 project was canceled. Living in the
corporate world in Texas for fifteen years is why I strongly support Federal
regulation today. PS: I can understand why your experience with DoD
agencies would give you a different view. The behavior of the DoD is why we
need stronger civilian oversight of the military and their corporate stooges.
However, let's not lose sight of the fact that the regulation in question is
a STATE regulation. My experience has been that the smaller the unit of
government, the less accountable and ethical its behavior. The worst abuses
are by zoning boards and police in small towns.

Larry,
I like a good debate and I don't give a S!-h!t if you
bad mouth any politician or political party. (carter,
reagan, bush, willie c. and the present ruler)
BUT to IMPLY that I have never had any contact with
the government and therefore don't know what I am
talking about is WAY off base here. I spent 15 years
in the defense industry (ssshhh). In my role as a
manager of a Quality Assurance department I had daily
if not hourly contact with the GOVERNMENT(DoD,DCAS,
USAF)etc. I know the government and have seen exactly
how this all works. The "bogey man" is real, not to be
feared, but it needs oversight, and a very close
leash. The leash needs to have someone (us) jerk on it
occasionally to get the monsters attention. >>
