After watching the rescue for the past two days, I have come a couple of conclusions.
1: For 2 days the whole world was Chilean.
2: The stark difference between Chile's President Sebastian Pinera and our President Zero.

As one on-site doctor put it: We have to say, OK, you dont want to speak with psychologists? Perfect. That day you get no TV, there is no music - because we administer these things. Oh boy, someone would be missing teeth as soon as I got out of that mine.

For the shrinks God is the competition. That’s how it is 90% of the time

Indeed, the men instituted their own systems for coping: they had a leader, they set up a prayer room, they lunched together everyday, worked in shifts to clear rubble, and had a daily showing your cards session at which they got things off their chests. In other words they acted like men. No wonder the shrinks hated them.

If I knew the wife and mistress were waiting for me, I’d be conflicted whether to come up.
Wife: “If I ever get my hands on him, I’ll kill him!”
Mistress: “He said he was single. I’m gonna kill him!”

When I first heard that the miners were arguing about who would go up last...and that all of them wanted the honor...I knew Chilean miners were a class act.

Not the miner who had his mistress show up and publicly humiliated his wife publicly.

Chileans have a fine tradition of resistance. I hope the miners have fun with this.

The more I hear about the elitist class of psychologists the more I think they need to be added to the list right behind lawyers.
As in...”The first thing we do is kill all the lawyers” Quot Shakespeare
