Reply #94: Nope, you appear blind to whats plainly writ.

I would never diss firefighters, cops, or any other hazardous occupation NOT on the OP's list....

You however, don't seem to, or want to, acknowledge the truth or facts about farming or logging or other trades. You appear positioned to only rally that YOUR (insert career field here) is MORE stressful/harmful/fatalistic or whatever regardless of the stats.

That's my only point. I'm not making absolutes. I'm dealing with real facts, not crap. Honestly, truly, I weep whenever a staff member is injured here. I pay a small fortune in WC insurance and am vicious with the fools at my ins co who want to try to talk to me out of a claim that an employee was injured "knitting" at home instead of mucking stalls. This biz is incredibly hard on employees and I protect all of us. I know who comprises those stats intimately and anyone who dares to diminish their courage or hard work will come up against MY hard wall immediately.
