Men

A short piece, and worth a read. I'll wait until you're back.

I sure hope that we still have people like this guy around.
Problem seen, take action, fix problem, get on with life.

I mean to cast no aspersions on anyone, but I honestly feel that we need more men as opposed to males. Maleness is simply the presence or absence of a particular gene. Men and what makes them men is something that is made, made through training and by choices throughout life. In this time of great trial and stress, our country needs men who can face up to the tasks at hand, who have the courage and strength to do the right thing, not the easy thing. The man hanging on the hook in the linked photo did the right thing; he didn't wring his hands, call for an investigation into the cause of the problem, and sincerely hope that someone did something. He saw a problem, he took action and fixed the problem and then went back to work.

As an afterthought, 5 will get you 10 that this man or his employer will get a visit and/or fine from OSHA for doing what had to be done!!
