Greetings Science Acceptors,

I'm often totally amazed at what science (and technology) has accomplished — throughout history and into this day and age. Keep in mind that what is done today often exceeds what

Let’s just say that I have seen a lot of them. One of the things that always set me back was thinking about why it even happened. There are so many senseless and avoidable things that could easily be avoided if someone just paid a bit more attention and considered what they were doing.
