Over-educated idiots! Hope the child is okay - they should have never put him in such a dangerous situation.
Reminds me of the guy who hobnobbed with the bears in Alaska. I don't care that he got killed - he was too stupid to live. But he had to get his girlfriend killed too.
I'm quite dismayed at the quality of tertiary/university/college teachings especially as it comes to political and moral issues. Believe it or not, I have encountered US-based college kids who are evangelical Christians (that makes them about 7-8 years my junior). They are all firmly Bible-believing even to the Jerry Falwell level, and then talking like man-made global warming is proven beyond reasonable doubt, and who really has no American patriotism apart from the vague "Yes, I like my country because it is simply where I'm in" and are never quite proud of the country.
