Seems to be the chic thing to dog this young lady. Yet the Aussie gets treated with accolades.

Lesson - America loves a winner and will destroy a loser.

Yep, it’s sad.

Australia - no debt.

USA - elected Obama. It’s no contest!

It’s not chic, it’s sensible.

It’s unfortunate she tried to do this in pursuit of a “record” instead of safely, sanely, and with proper experience and training.

It’s a symptom of America these days. Seek fame and fortune instead of doing something purely for the love of adventure.

If it truly was for the love of adventure or to fulfill a “life long dream” would it really matter if she had waited a year or two? Of course not!!

IMO, Abby is a winner.
