cry us a river this is not a eulogy board it is a blog. People write what they please--and if they steer clear of curse words and threats, CBS will probably print it--we don't like blog police--it is bad enough that CBS has to censor us--but most people ignore posters who think they have been elected blog monitors. if the family does not like the posts--they should not be reading the blog--like bad tv and books--avoid what you do not want to read or watch.

People subjected to water at the pools in Yellowstone died after temps of 120 degrees which is enough to give 3rd degree burns. One does not have to approach 212 degrees to burn to death.

Yup...when I see "temporary worker", I immediately think high turnover, inexperienced, under-trained, unmotivated, and at risk.

But none of that matters to the employing company, 'cuz temps are cheappppppp..."

You are very unfair to temp workers. Most ARE motivated and try to be good workers--people take temp jobs either to supplement their income OR to get their foot into a company and hope to get picked up and get their contract bought for full time employment. Many regular employees start working for a company as temps. Companies actually pay more per hour for temps--but not to the worker, to the temp agency--if they decide the worker is great, they can offer to buy out the contract which can be quite expensive. Many companies like temps because it allows them to use cheaper labor and audition potential employees without committment or probation for that employee.

YOu don't know what you are talking about. If you take over 8 reg strength Tylenol in a 24 hour period, you can damage your liver. In addition, other drugs and caffiene and alcohol potentiate Tylenol. which means it makes the drug stronger. Why is that important? Because if you do that pretty often, within a few years of Chronic use of Tylenol you will be dead of liver failure--that is why. Liver failure has increased exponentially because many people do not realize that not only is Acetemeniphen the active ingredient of Tylenol, it is also the pain killer in many Rx drugs too. Why does this matter? Because if you have renal or liver failure--your chances of getting a liver transplant are about 1 million to one and your chance of finding a donor in time is also very slim--so the FDA SHOULD put a limit and warning on Tylenol and should have done so years ago.

As for the factory--the FDA is concerned SOLELY with safety and efficacy of the product NOT the employee. The employee is only considered solely on the basis of them be deleterious to the process and thus the product.

Safety is the concern of OSHA NOT the FDA

Pure chocolate is NOT sweet--it is very, very bitter. Only after sugar is added and the chocolate is cut with milk powder does chocolate approach being edible.

[toldyouso29]

They'd know. Crap may be brown like chocolate--but it certainly would not smell like chocolate.

--how does a blade hit a person who is pouring chocolate in? Aren't the blades in the vat? How could the blade have reached the man on a walkway and batted him in? Is everyone sure he was not pushed? OSHA--check this out.

And also...please account for all ingredients used to compound that particular batch of chocolate--we want to make sure it got destroyed or removed for investigation and to be destroyed later--we don't need shades of Willy Wonka Augustus Gloop in our chocolate.

I wonder if he crapped his pants? No one would ever know...
