Houston under water.

It was there, the soy based adhesive just didn't stick to the 100% recycled print stock very well..

I am sure that on the path I am on now I will get as bitter and cynical, fu ll of venom for those I deem and "idiot".

Not there yet. Most of the folks they rescue these days (high water rescue s here are quite rare these days) no doubt have no valid reason, but I can understand it somewhat.

An 85 year old woman driving home went around a barricade that she mistook for a "pothole marker" which a single barricade is often used to mark. She got in about 4 inches of water and panicked, stopped, and called 911. Whe n the rescue team got there, the water was about 6 inches deep so they walk ed out on safety ropes and carried her to safety. Did she deserved help or deserve to die? I know your answer!

We no longer have state controlled driver's licensing, so parents are taske d with finding a driver's school that will teach their kids to drive. The schools are licensed and are state approved for operation, but after that.. . only routine continuing education is required of these schools. A couple of years ago two girls, juniors in high school I believe, were going somew here and the rain had stopped and the runoff was building up. They became stranded when their cute little girl car was washed off the road by a wave about 10 inches high. It shoved it into a creek bed, and the passenger dro wned. The driver said she didn't think about the danger since it had quit raining and the water on the road was just a couple of inches when the star ted across. Damn beginning drivers... should they be rescued for their bad judgement?

No need to answer... I know, I know.

Poor judgement and lack of experience deserve to be punished.

I wonder how you would feel if it had been your Mother/grandmother or daugh ter... hopefully you wouldn't move off your principles just because it was someone you knew! (Past tense)

I love how you turn it to slam at Big Government. Classic.

I have no problem rescuing idiots from themselves. I have no problem charging them for the full cost of their rescue, either. That goes for idiots who climb mountains just because they're there, too.

No you don't.

My view is that if government offers a service then the service should be free to all in need. If the government can't afford to offer the service then the solution is to not offer the services, not start billing the people who use it.
