After following the thread about the Cape Cod tragedy and the ensuing discussion of what can be done to prevent future occurrences, some of the comments and concepts stuck in some of the crannies of my brain and have been itching.

I hope people find some of the comments at the attached link useful and/or thought-provoking. I apologize in advance for any oversimplifications or misunderstandings of other peoples ideas. I also may be repeating points already made by others.

I would appreciate an comments others have to make. I'm hoping to inspire some interesting discussion. We'll see.

I tossed this on another page because it turned into a 2 page yammer. If people would prefer it to be posted, let me know.
