I don't understand why there is such an outcry about a man going out and doing what he enjoys then? For goodness sake, my tax money pays for hospitals every day that treat people for self induced accidents in their own homes. Hey, I know, I am out of shape, but let me run down to the bball court with my kid and break an ankle. Foolish, yes, and whether that person has insurance or not, you and I, the taxpayers subsidize part of that person's treatment.

In regards to the illegal aliens, yes, it irks me to no end that they get free health care, but I still would never deny them treatment. There are ways to address this, but not thru denial. Why not spend more energy addressing trial lawyers who have driven up the costs of insurance for doctors and hospitals which is passed onto the end consumer/patient so that the end consumer/patient cannot afford health care?

Well, there's no outcry coming from me. I was just making the oft-repeated observation that if you're going to go out into the wilderness (not on some well-groomed trail in Golden Gate Park frequented by a bunch of fags in pink haltertops holding hands), it's a very good idea to take a friend, or let someone know where you are and when you plan on returning. Is that so hard?

If someone claims to be so knowledgeable about the wilderness that they cannot be hurt (and those who are, are fools) . . . Well, then they're a fool. Anyone can get hurt out there. It's happened to the best of men. And if it happens to you, you'll wish to high heaven somebody knew where you were. And for this the Mystery Fag attacks me? Eff that flaming, limp-wristed idiot.
