[SystemSafety] Risk .... again

[Les Chambers]

Thanks all 
I'm encouraged by the reaction to my post. If you've a mind to drill down ...

The rape incident is described here by SCEGGS Head of School (note the hand 
wringing, questions and absence of solutions):

For the stout hearted, the 4000 words on risk management I sent to SCEGGS Head 
of School see:

Gird your loins. The SCEGGS Head of School response is at the end. The 
engineering and educational silos remain safe from cross contamination of 
ideas ... apparently.

I'll leave you with Kant.
 Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.

The notion that the male population of the planet can be trained to respect 
women I think is fancifull.
Too much crooked timber. Better to take preventive action. That doesn't mean 
that we shouldn't try educating our young men. I'm just waiting for the hand 
wringing to stop so we can start.

Alfred Deakin (Australia's second prime minister) put it well


What, wailing still? What wouldst thou have life be?
Others, more tired, are silent – thou canst sing.

Forget thyself – let song suffice for thee;
Thy hands were made to use and not to ring.
Must thou possess a sunny waveless sea.
Untroubled atmospheres and tireless wing?

Cheers
Les
