No, I did not say that. Please reread the post. Power cycling clearly does not cause light bulb failure. Reason for that observation was explained. Some who always know from what they feel rather than first learn facts will deny that reality.

Yes, humans are born to be emotional creatures. Emotion traceable to more primitive parts of a brain. Primitive is why emotion is common in children. Described elsewhere was how and why adults stop entertaining their emotions. Learning how to be adult requires brain parts that often develop years later. Also noted was that some do not fully develop until the age of 24.

Being an adult means no longer entertaining emotions. To learn how to separate emotions from reality. To let emotions have no place in decision making.

A cop who let his emotions override facts was mistakenly described as someone who does not care. Reality is often 100% opposite. That cops cares so much as to stop being adult and logical. Need we also cite CA college campus cops who sprayed sitting student point blank with pepper spray? Or National Guardsmen who shot college kids in Ohio? Classic examples of adults who acted as children. Adults who let their emotions make harmful decisions should be prosecuted for being irresponsible.

Some adults may never learn how to separate emotions from logic. That adult child will even do things so foolish as to instigate fist fights. Or automatically believe Airborne keeps one healthy when on airplanes.

Demonstrated by PBS "The Confessions" and CBS's 48 hours "Drawn to Murder" (Aired 24 Dec 2011) are examples of felonies created by policeman who let emotions make decisions. Being an adult says emotion is not found in decisions. A benchmark for separating adults from adult children.

Good was that 3000 died on 11 September. After all, it was good that so many entertained their emotions to successfully commandeer airplanes. Please explain how actions based in emotion is good.


Not included in a list of what causes light bulb failure and described in Grimm's fairy tales: trolls. So quick as to destroy a bulb during the switch flick. Everyone knows that trolls and gremlins are responsible for damage and destruction. It says so in children's books. Adults need to learn what children and adult children already know. Then nobody need be responsible.
