I do pay for the hobby thru taxes. I pay income tax, I pay sales tax, fuel taxes. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN a $20 tank of gas to go hiking vs the "bond" to cover the cost of a rescue you are so sold on. Do you think that it just costs $20 to run that helicopter?

I never said I expected for you to pay for me to get there. I said the idea of an exorbitant bond was ridiculous considering that I already pay taxes on everything now.

That is an elitist pov, that only the rich should enjoy the things that I pay taxes to support too. And I am not a climber, but I do enjoy a periodic hike in the mountains. And I do pay my own way to do that, from the car payment, to the fuel to the park fee. But if you had your way, you would add an additional charge onto this hike because I might break a bone and need a helicopter to get me out. How about making me pay for the helicopter if I actually need it, instead of a what if? What are you going to do with that bond if I walk out of the mtns without a scratch on me?

So why don't you stop being ridiculous and focus on the point I was addressing.

That is an elitist pov,

What is elitist, is that you would hike up the side of a mountain thinking that if something happens the U.S. Army will come and save your butt for free.

My elitist point of view is that frigging spoiled babies, like you, always wants someone to pay their way. Your probably happy that ALgore invented the internet otherwise us mean capitalists wouldn't allow you to play on line.

I hear them calling you over at DU..Now take a deep breath and click your heals together and say I want to go home 3 times..

PS do you think the U of Colorado will take back Slick Rick...
