Dog, thanks. I honestly understand that. Completely and utterly. I've just been saying (just as exhaustively) that I don't think that's a fair starting place. There are plenty of things that are worth serious scrutiny in any and every event (as I just sated above). And NO investigative agency is going to start evaluating an event with the premise above. So why should we - unless there is some other point to be proven?
To that end, what do his fellow seaman think about the skipper of the Exxon Valdez? I would hope they have even more derision for him than anyone could possibly have for someone like Ronnie. That would seem evenhanded.
