Comparing Mesothelioma And Exxon Valdez To Benghazi

When we consider the treatment of the mistakes of private industry and the mistakes of government, we see a wide gap in where blame and punishment are placed.

In the case of private, non-government problems like Exxon Valdez or the current Mesothelioma ads on TV, liberals want dramatic punishment or financial ruin to befall the companies involved. Billions of dollars in payment are demanded and imprisonment for the VPs and CEO are sought.

But when government causes death or injury, as with the over-pressurized automobile dashboard air bags or memos that the Secretary of State (Hillary Clinton) should have seen, or at least have heard about, but didn't, and the ignorance of which resulted in the deaths of four Americans she was directly responsible for, we get tears and childish excuses such as "what difference at this point does it make" from Hillary, who wants to avoid any personal responsibility for the suffering and deaths.

But the results of private and government mistakes and errors are not equal in their outcome. When industry makes mistakes the damage is usually localized and controllable (oil spills and the Bopal explosion), but when government makes mistakes the tragedy is wide-spread and catastrophic (for example, our current economic depression and joblessness, children not being educated in the schools government provides, the sub-prime housing crash, and the over-spending and over-borrowing, radical Obama administration which is planning the gutting of our national defense forces) it impacts the entire nation for a very long time and perhaps damages our entire society forever. Government adversely impacts the lives and liberties of the entire nation, not just a neighborhood or a region.

That's why government officials, like the incompetent Hillary or Obama, with all their strutting and big-shot preening and the fawning love they get from the press, must be identified and punished for their bad policies and actions. What they do can destroy our nation and they must be stopped and replaced with intelligent, reasonable people, not the ambitious, arrogant fools running our nation today.

Comment by John Stolte on February 20, 2013 at 11:38pm: Me too Kathy!

Comment by Kathy Brown, Esq. on February 20, 2013 at 6:11pm: I'm glad we both escaped John!

Comment by John Stolte on February 18, 2013 at 8:37pm: Kathy, my life started in New Jersey not too far from NYC. I suppose that my common sense was acquired after we left NJ. I have learned, of course, that the east and west coasters also believe that they possess common sense. For some reason, unknown to the rest of us, their common sense is exactly the opposite of ours. Some might call it "stupidity" and we all know that you can't fix stupid!

Comment by Kathy Brown, Esq. on February 18, 2013 at 8:18pm: John, it could be. But unless you've grown up a New Yorker, you can't plumb the depth of the Eastern disdain for all things commonsensical!

Alas, would that it were not so. Now it's certainly true that 9/11 and the aftermath-the particulars you so insightfully note-opened Eastern perspective to the essential nature of our matchless Military. But waking up NYC/DC to the necessity of an armed POPULACE?

Not so much.

Comment by John Stolte on February 17, 2013 at 9:11pm: Kathy, I think GWB and the Patriot Act had something to do with it as well.

Comment by Kathy Brown, Esq. on February 17, 2013 at 7:38pm: There is at least a lively appreciation here in the Midwest, for our 2d Amendment rights. But the East coast is another story.

My own wonderful mother-a Conservative to the core-had no concept of the essential nature of the 2d. It has long been outre-just too, too 'uncool'. It has taken no less than the present Dictator-In-Chief to illustrate that an unarmed populace is slave and an armed one, citizenry.

Comment by John Stolte on February 17, 2013 at 6:18pm: I like your perspective Dave. I think that new perspectives are essential to our messaging. I often tell people that Second Amendment rights are a civil rights issue. Many people, even Conservatives, don't understand because they have been trained to be on defense about gun rights. Gun rights are no less a civil right than voting, equality before the law and the right to purchase any home you can afford to purchase. We have to change our narrative.
