    Negligence is an accident now?

    I can show you plenty of people going to jail for other forms of negligence and you had better believe if it was up to me that kind of thing would result in jail time too.

    Clearly we have different definitions of suffer, these folks are not sleeping in a cell, or missing meals, or worried about paying their bills. Not being able to buy a 5th Ferrari is not suffering.

    Compared to the people whose livelihoods they nearly destroyed, yeah I would say that is fine. Oh noes you did not get your dividend for something that mere mortals would rot in jail for, woe is you.

    If you are injecting stuff into the ground where it will leak onto other peoples property you should have a duty to disclose those substances to them.

    So you would be happy to replace all of your fluid intake with this liquid? Perhaps have this soil being removed exchanged for the topsoil on your property.

    If you want to drink the stuff fine by me, but don't expect that I want to drink it too.

    The people who are paying insignificant fines, you know unlike the people who do years in jail for possessing trivial amount of plant matter. On the other hand if you are a baseball player you can mail yourself ounces of the stuff and pay a little fine. In both cases it is quite clear, harsh punishments are only for the poors.

    Bullshit, failure to have someone double check that sort of thing is negligence.

    Everyone makes mistakes, the problem is not bothering to plan for them. I saw a nurse fired when a doctor instructed her to cut a patient's facial hair with scissors instead of the correct tool, she ended up nicking some hoses. The nurse was in the wrong, the doctor was negligent. He instructed someone to use the wrong tool, knowing this might happen, just so he could get out of the office a little sooner that day. The patient was fine, no lawsuit ensued, but that changes nothing. The tort system goes very easy on doctors, look at those fellows who put fecal bacteria into brain cancer patients heads for the hell of it.

    There are honest mistakes and there is negligence. It rises to negligence when you don't bother to have a plan to deal with honest mistakes. Like maybe have someone inspect that shit once in awhile.

    If is is deliberate it is not negligence. That is the whole point. This leak was negligent but not intentional. Negligent is enough for criminal charges. Had the cap leaked from being cross threaded instead of totally left out, that would be accidental.
