Basic Flaw

 

There is no lacking for information on Bechtel-Parsons Brinckerhoff. A mega corporation that seems to have a hard time taking 'moral' responsibility for its actions. Money and morals are not the same thing corporate guys and gals.

As long as Bechtel-Parsons Brinckerhoff are on my radar, with the chance they will impact Minnesota's now tad shakey quality of life, I'll keep their doings on the pages of my posts. There will be another post in the coming days.

What a really bad Republican management decision by our public officials.

I find it interesting that they visited my blog so many times, from the East Coast to the West Coast, I lost count. I suspect that some were local users going through their Intranet system.

Home grown reputable Minnesota companies are still my top pick for protocol review of bridge inspections, building the new 35W bridge and repair work of all of our bridges and roads. Hands down.

The people who always live here, work here and play here are a better and safer investment all the way around.

Better and safer investments for those of us who always live here, work here and play here.

I also noticed some of their -- Bechtel-Parsons Brinckerhoff competitors dropping by to take a peak, too. I wasn't surprised to find a few military ISP's among the visitors that graced the pages of A Christmas Story.

But then again, since the newest executive order (signed when Congress filibustered) the governments ISP's are buzzing around like they did before all the mess with the NSA.

When I wrote "Hey...Could You Laugh and Joke Later" I was absolutely appalled by the activity of bush and company at the site of the 35W bridge collapse.

The fact that people had died right where they all stood and that people were still missing, sent shivers through me.

The morality in honoring the injured and the dead was absent the day bush came to Minneapolis. Did my eyes deceive me? Was I being too sensitive? Nope and Nope.

Later when I found out that the man we call the president of this United States, swung his arm around a mourning Minnesota professional and told that person to smile for pictures on the very site of the collapse, I knew it all to be true then.

Every disturbing theory about bush that has surfaced over the years, it is true. How awful that he is truly our national nightmare in the light of day. The uniter is a pretender.

I have to give a lot of credit to those professionals that bristled in horror over the presidents behavior, they maintained their composure with maximum morality.

What these professionals witnessed in the president is so very sad, but how do they ever erase the image of demoralizing behavior of their very own Minnesota Statesmen and women.

How does one soften the harsh reality of knowing that the people who suffered horrifically one warm summer rush hour evening, were thoughtlessly forgotten with self gratifying laughter, jokes and a photo op.

Ladies and gentleman of Minnesota, these are our public servants. 2008 is around the corner.

Pioneer Press COMMENTS.....
Posted by: John 8/12/2007 When you look at the MN-DOT's record over the last several years, it is a sorry tale. For instance:
Additionally, now, engineers are leaving the DOT at the rate of 6 per day. There is no chief engineer for the DOT. Decisions on projects are being made on the basis of political expediency instead of technical merit.
