An attack of conscience - Editor owns up!

摘要

Editor wonders if it was the water he was drinking - why suddenly bothered by an attack of conscience? After all, being in the Australian concrete construction industry for years does develop a hard shell - our industry is not for the faint-hearted. You won't find shrinking violets here! Still, what was it biting me? Why suddenly this concern? It all started with a broken leg recently acquired on (you guessed it) a construction site.There is nothing like a broken leg to slow you down. Lying on a hospital bed when you can't do much allows you to think. Daytime television soon pales - your thoughts start with how you'd like a beer with lunch but they won't let you - then something unusual happens. You stop thinking of yourself and start thinking of others, seeking better answers for society and how concrete could help the future for our children.
