Some of things I learn on this forum amaze me. Keeps a guy thinking...lol
Scott, you have a great gift for teaching. I have learned things from you I have never wanted to know.
This is not a bad thing as learning is an investment I can't loose on. I think it is because your passion is palatable.
A book I read often has a line in it that I love. "contempt prior to investigation leads to ever lasting ignorance".
I try to do my own homework on these sorts of things. I know with today's ease of publishing it is pretty easy
to make things sound better than they are. You can post or publish about anything now days without it being
fact checked. This means that you must always be ready to do your homework and fact checking. then in doing
that you have to be willing to look at different sides of things that you may not agree with. It is not always
easy to put aside what you think you know is right, or you want to be right so bad you can taste it and look
at the opposing view with an open mind.
It is kind of like the shingle recycling thing in a recent post, while the post instantly got me thinking that I may
be missing out on a revenue source, after I did my own homework and fact checking I found that it was and is
far more than I had thought originally.
Really we as scrappers should be very aware of this sort of thing. How many times have you heard that
computers are full of gold? Like you just flip it up and dump it out. I get at least one person a month
that tells me how easy it is to extract gold from ewaste, only to find that they are a janitor at the local
school. But they seen it on the internet....Go figure.
Copper Head I think this could prove to be an interesting post.
