No good deed goes unpunished: The Price of Privatization

Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglican Church http://www.stjohnsashfield.org.au, Ashfield, New South Wales. Illustrates Jesus' description of himself "I am the Good Shepherd" (from the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 11). This version of the image shows the detail of his face. The memorial window is also captioned: "To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of William Wright. Died 6th November, 1932. Aged 70 Yrs." (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Lifeguard fired for leaving beach to rescue drowning swimmer:


"Welcome To 1850
It's like the times of privatized fire departments. I'd be surprised if the Lifeguard Licence didn't *require* him to act. That Florida, home to a huge proportion of 'Christians', doesn't have Brother's Keeper Laws would astound me. If he doesn't get his job back, and his employer doesn't have to fire whomever made that decision we'll know just 'Christian' Florida is."
