Who'd be an engineer?

At least, who'd be an engineer in the US of A, where 4 out of 5 people have found Jesus, but 3 out of 4 (so Pew tells us) don't know where he was allegedly born.

I am so sick of broadcast media and holy people drivelling on about "the miracle in the mine."
Miracle my arse. With all its apparent managerial shortcomings, the mine company had rescue facilities which put anything in the US to shame. The government had no egomaniacal hesitation about finding the best people with the best ideas, from anywhere on earth, to effect a rescue once it was clear the missing miners had survived. Those people worked round the clock for over two months to put their ideas into action.

The success is a tribute to heads-down engineering and problem solving, and not one of these "miracle" idiots has paused for even a minute to say thank you to the grunts and geeks who made this rescue a success. I'd say "shame on you" but these people are beyond shame. I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
