I think we'd all like to believe that when we are on a ship, plane, train, or bus, that in the case of an accident, the captain or one in charge would see us safely off before abandoning his/her post. We'd like to believe that. But what we have seen with the Costa Concordia this week gives us pause to wonder. Maybe the captain was suffering stress, maybe he was under-trained and his fear got the better of him, or simply he may have been a coward. Whatever. I wonder if we will ever have the same confidence in these leaders again.
But then, during war, don't the heads of state hunker down in safety rather than lead the troops into battle? Hmm...
