2. You assume that ALL work rules are safety related, and that is just not true.

3. We can all find an anecdotal example(s) of why one thing or another is great or sucks. Sorry your friend got cancer, but only a broad examination of the evidence would even provide a clue.

Further, I didn't try to state that U was wrong in their approach, only that it was different from Cal. And therein lies the point, I was simply trying illustrate what I perceive as a vast cultural difference, and you chose to bash the CAL side, and wrap the U side in the flag of safety.

Everyone has to get over the "my team/heritage/lineage/uniform/training/younameit is better than yours" schoolyard taunts because we are all on the same team now.
