Newtons Third Law of Motion

Just a passing thought this, silly one yes but a passing thought all the same, I do not remember the substance of the discussion with a secondary school 'puppy love' who went on to say to me 'to every action there was a reaction', and in the heat of that discussion that at the time, I remember fairly well did seem like my life depended on it.... Au contrare, with the benefit of hindsight, autumn leaves.... a quick retort won the moment, thanks to an old mate Isaac Newton, Yes the fellow who 'witnessed' an apple fall in the year 1666 and thought up the theory of 'universal gravitation' and who said in his third law of motion 'to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction', he was talking of forces and motion of course but who's to say how you apply science laws and theories in real life and during that 'life and death' situation Mr Isaac Newton saved my life and the other party's ommission of the critical 'equal and opposite reaction' part of the law.....talk of science coming to the rescue of a domestic crisis....just a passing thought all the same on how errors and omissions even in business presentations, propositions, contracts can be quite costly.

By the way there is available on most markets now insurance cover called Directors and Officers Liability and in the case of those calling themselves 'proffessionals' the cover is proffessional liability insurance cover, both these covers are in cognizance of two main aspects the first that as human beings we are prone to err with costs consequently arising therefrom no matter how well trained we are, plus off-course the public is more liability conscious these days and will 'bay for blood' if a 'professional' costs them some of or the whole value of an investment or business enterprise. Now there's Newtons third law of motion again, rearing its head.
