A copper's son …

… Havoc. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

For many, certainty has become the new normal. But it’s an illusion. Like it or not, as the song has it, trouble is “laying and waiting on you”. Each of us wades in the swamp of everyone else’s actions and intentions. We’ll forever be vulnerable to havoc. And no amount of insurance, risk management or technology will keep it from our door. You might not have sharks in your neighbourhood, but there’ll always be a catastrophic diagnosis in the wings, or a financial crash, or just some moron running a red light.
