I think the chairman did not intentionally harm or hurt. He may have knowingly harmed or hurt, but there's a difference between intention and knowing. I think.

Your example makes better sense for sure but I don't think you can separate the two things--intention and knowledge--here. It may not have been his main goal to hurt/help the environment but when he has knowledge that it does it becomes part of his intention. He may think it's not but it is.

This is what was happening in my neighborhood this morning. My wife had left for work before dawn, so I was getting the kids ready for preschool when we started getting word that the neighborhood was shut down. I didn't even find out that we were out of the no-drive zone (we live one block to the south of the southernmost street on the little map) until around 10, when a garbage truck came by. No other cars since 7 am.

Yikes, that's scary Corwood!

Interesting profile on Emanuel in Fortune Magazine. I like that it starts with a burn of President Bush....tribathlete!

Oh, Corwood, how scary!

Yikes!

from the Fortune story:

'You're not one of those tribathletes, are you, Mr. President? You know-steam, sauna, shower?'

awesome! I'm totally a tribathlete! Or, I would be given the resources.

Yikes, Corwood! Stay in the house!!

Baby monkey gets his own guard dog

A Chinese zoo has given an orphan monkey its own guard dog to stop it being bullied by bigger primates.

Once the garbage truck passed, I decided I'd feel better with the kids at daycare and me at work, so we hurriedly loaded up and left around 10 ("Serpentine!," I told my 3-year-old on the way to the car, and he rightfully looked at me like I was nuts). But still: crazy! The cops had a shoot-out with a guy at our neighborhood grocery that's about ten blocks away!
