So what if other people die?

As long as they don't find out I made a goof.

The fate of "other people" is a consequence of the actions of many, including themselves. Cheryl Taggart's suicide and what happens to Eddie Willers are the classic examples of this in AS.

It's related to what I've been calling "anonymous rudeness": a car parked taking up two spots, for example. The person who commits the act is never confronted by the person who was inconvenienced by it - so we have a society of people who do, indeed, say "so what?".

  I confront. I leave a note under the windshield wipers: "Hey, retard! Color inside the lines!"
  
  As for this, you know coal miners die all the time. You never hear about it unless for some reason, like 12 at once, it makes the news. Steel workers in mills die by ones and twos. Cops die. Firefighters go out in squads. (http://necessaryfacts.blogspot.com/2014/...). What you are doing is using the deaths of others to put a headline on your own anti-government agenda.

    I've been in plenty of production factories and metal smelters. Rarely have I encountered a situation where an individual made a mistake that they know could cause another significant harm or even death, and not done something about it. The fact that no harm happened in this case is more a testament to the caution of the researchers and that they treat every sample as potentially harmful. That does not remove the responsibility of the person who made the mistake initially.

      Appropriate disciplinary action is being taken. Meaning... They will likely get an official letter of reprimand in their permanent file, to be removed in 6 months if no future incidents of this nature occur within that time.
      
      After all - it IS a government Agency staffed by Civil Service Workers... their union would probably get anything harsher overturned.

        for me it was the prang watercolors. I tried to clean them but they all ran together. I believe there were tears

        Only if you had an appropriate sob story to go along with it.

      Yes, of course, it was Robbie's headliner and only your comment about "anonymous rudeness". I should have been more observant. My bad.

        yes, sometimes it is difficult to know exactly to whom a reply is addressed.
