Yeah I guess you could include everyone that works oil spills too - we now know that oil spills are toxic to the clean up crews - so, no one should clean spills up either, just leave it on our shores. Lawsuits didn't help any of them. Glad he isn't in charge of anything, nothing would get done.

Glad there are people that put their butts on the line for the rest of us...

I get a kick out of the "Deadlest Catch", the guys are making a killing and yes the work is dangerous, but when they get their butts in a jam, it is a bunch of young kids in the Coast Guard that make welfare wages and most qualify for food stamps to raise their familes, coming out in the worst of the worst storms to save them...

There is alot of this old timer bull headedness that still exists, you just have to minimize your exposure to it.

Rolls eyes.
So I can "Assume what", they disconnected you for non payment and you never got over it.

Is a paper cut in your line of work is concidered "Hazardous Duty"....?

Not a clue to where you came up with an off the wall response like that for people that go beyond the call of duty... but it was uncalled for.
