Surely you jest. Some company or person(s) develope a new

bringing that new whatever to market so the negative impacts to
other industries, groups, etc can first be studied?

You mean like............DDT? Thalidomide?

The "negative impacts" I mentioned were not intented to include
health or life threatening side effects. The discussion has been around
"negative
impacts" in the area of job displaceents and/or industries failing.


Losing one's job and not being able to find another can have serious health and
life-threatening side effects.

All writers assume a certain level of knowledge on the part of their
target readers. The same is true for this newsgroup. Most here are aware of
the code testing debate, so there isn't any reason to restate the issue each
time something is said. As for NCI, the names of many groups don't exactly
reflect the group's publicly stated goals. For example, the Red Cross
doesn't go around painting crosses red and the Salvation Army doesn't fight
religious wars.

Is this message (mine) just now showing up in the newsgroup for people to
reply to? I posted it many days ago.

Did anyone hear the story on Fox several nights ago about the Red Cross in
England planning to drop the red cross as their official logo? According to
the story, they want to eliminate any reference to religion. I don't know if
they intend to change the name also. The story said the U.S. chapter insists
it has no intention of doing the same. Anyway, since the red cross logo is
widely used outside religious circles (hospitals and so on) and I suspect
few make a religious connection, I thought the entire thing was a little
strange.

No department stores in the oceans to collect money at? It's too cold to
stand around at piers during the Christmas season? On a more technical note,
their ringing bells were mistaken for navigation buoys once too often? ;-)

Because they'd always be trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Navy deals out something other than salvation! 8^)

Tell that to a Navy Chaplain.


I don't think he was refering to the religious context of the word.
Instead, I suspect he was referring to "saving someone from an unpleasant
situation." The "unpleasent situation" in this case being the Navy itself.
Now, before someone jumps on me, let me point out that I'm only explaining
what I think he's saying. I have no desire to engage in inter-service
rivalries.
