Why can’t you just let that family do what they want to do? Why must you impose your vision of normal on them? What gives you the right to meddle in their decisions?
You really don’t get it, do you?
While I don’t think it wise, I really don’t give a rat’s a$$ what they do. Provided THEY furnish ALL the resources to do it.
Just like I don’t mind if you scrape together every cent you can borrow to buy a million dollar house, because you think tomorrow it’ll be worth two million. I’ll think you’re nuts, but that’s your deal. PROVIDED you don’t come running to me (as a taxpayer) to bail your sorry ass out when it becomes obvious that you got in way over your head.
That’s just how I feel about Miss Adventure here.
The original rant attributed all sorts of evil motives to FReepers who don’t want to bail out pseudo-adventurers, like we’re some kind of candy-ass socialists. But it misses the point. DO what you want! Just bear the WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY for what you do! That to me is a conservative attitude. This idea that we’re all supposed to help out the selfish egos that attack stuff like sailing around the world when you’re a kid strikes me as the ultimate Libtard attitude.
