It isn't the experience of today that drives men mad. It is the remorse
of something that happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may
disclose-Dr. Wayne Dyer in "Your Erroneous Zones"
Very
little purpose is served by asking questions after being struck by
Earthquake. Also no use grumbling about a dam or a nuclear power plant
after it has been completed, and is about to be commissioned. They are
mighty people and will do it irrespective of how much you oppose. Project
entrepreneurs will always say the projects are safely designed. So far
people believed the engineers who said dams and nuclear power plants could
be designed and constructed to withstand the strongest earthquakes
affecting them. Fukushima has proved that this claim is not true. Still we
must understand the kind of questions we should ask in between.
The biggest offender is one who earned his reputation in one area and steps out of his area of
specialty to make judgment in another. -Dr. LLOYD S CLUFF
