The common sense disappeared into the computer and iPhone. As a result, we get young people who want to go into the arts who have never used any kind of power tools, never hammered a nail, never molded anything with their hands, never mixed a paint. They have no smarts because they don't have the hand-eye-coordination and perspective that comes with doing things with their hands and from having a full program of art and music in school. Looking at art on the computer and listening to music while driving the car only makes them wannabe artists and musicians without the skills become either. It also explains what passes for art and music today. I'm watching Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga going through the old American Song Book. Maybe if the kids hear the real stuff....

Haven't you noticed. People nowadays are generally stupid. Common sense has somehow escaped as part of our current society. Our parents (in an older time) taught us common sense. Where has it disappeared? Regards, Ernest Lippert From: DCHAS-L Discussion List [mailto:dchas-l**At_Symbol_Here**MED.CORNELL.EDU] On Behalf Of Leslie Coop

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Colorado methanol fire case Perhaps someone should ask the school he went to why he wasn't taught chemical safety procedures.

This seems much more likely to set a precedent than the UCLA fire, which was based on labor law specific to California. I hope that people who are in Colorado will let us know how this case proceeds, as it's not uncommon for these stories to fall off the press's radar.
