  12. Re:Responsibility on Shell Ditches Wind, Solar, and Hydro · · Score: 1

    Well said. Personal responsibility is a rare thing these days. "Evil" companies have made great job at taking the personal guilt and personal responsibility off their employees and providers to get away with it.
    Like beign a Smith and Wesson employee and be able to sleep well every night cause you just make steel alloys, not weapons. The other guy says: Hey, I just make triggers, I don not make weapons! Then another: I just assemble product parts! And then another: I'm just a salesman! And so on. Then they worry because a kid died in a school shooting.

    The guilt is dissolved among many parts so every part can think he's not building a weapon. So they can perform better at their duties without internal conflicts. This is just an example (I'm not an anti-NRA fan), it applies to evey industry: Military, healthcare, farmaceutical labs, banks (specially banks these days), you name it.

    I'd be good to see more personal responsibility.

    Yeah well, as you can see I've used Vista about 5 hours, max.

But the message was already written... and I stared for a while at a button that suddenldy said "Don't click me".
