Many Jobs Are More Dangerous Than Police, Firefighting
Fishers and related fishing is most dangerous Cal-trans workers The common denominator in most of these dangerous jobs is "transportation" being that the more one works on or around transport on land, air or sea, the more chance of injury or death ============= There was a case I worked on as an intern in Nevada several years ago that involved a young woman who got high on pot and alcohol and took out an entire crew of Nevada Transportation employees-but the ones who were actually working and killed were placed there by the court for public/community service. She killed several innocent people. CHP also states that a large % of their on the job cop fatalities are from being struck by vehicles-many times like the NV case, someone under the influence of drugs. So I agree that transportaion is where the major danger lies.— February 16, 2011 9:50 a.m.

Interesting comment. It would take some nerves to shoe a horse knowing the potential lethal danger involved.— February 16, 2011 9:44 a.m.

Wisconsin Governor Proposes Deep Benefit Slashes
WEell this is where the rubber meets the road, are the taxpayers and gov going to wimp out or stand up to bullies?— February 16, 2011 9:42 a.m.
California State Bar Rejects Charges Against Mike Aguirre
Aguirre is like NJ Gov Chris Christie in my book. MIke's calling was 4 years premature, if he were elected today he would not have the problems he did 5 years ago. Same thing with Arnold. Those block buster reforms he had and lost in 2004 would go over 2-1 today.— February 15, 2011 10:19 p.m.

Roofing liek all the trades is very hazardous...and one reason to pay the contruction trades MORE thana cop or FF is the work is seasonal, and at the total command of the economy. There has been next to NO new construction in 3 years now. Many builders have gone out of business.— February 15, 2011 10:17 p.m.

Yes, when there are accidents or rescues the troops show up in force! I don't think the job of LE can ever be outsourced, but I do think FF could. The problem with FF is you never know if their requests for more stations/manpower are legit b/c they are so self serving.— February 15, 2011 5:15 p.m.

Not only that, but the last year for which I checked stats showed roughly half of the fatal accidents for police officers were due to traffic accidents. ============= The average annual deaths on duty for cops has been between 150-250 going back 40 years or more (it has been going down even though population has gone up due to better training), and in nealry all years at least half are from vehicle accidents.— February 15, 2011 5:12 p.m.
NFL Giveth. NFL Taketh Away.
The players want the owners to open up their books, which the owners do NOT want to do ============= Of course they wotn open the books, it would blow their cries of poverty sky high.— February 15, 2011 1:50 p.m.
NFL Giveth. NFL Taketh Away.
I agree with this post 100%. I still don't understand why MLB and trhe NFL were exempted from anti-trust actions by the Congress. I guess these billionaires just bought off the Congress.— February 15, 2011 1:48 p.m.
