Must have a death wish.
Wrong. He's just an adrenalin chaser.
There are basically two kinds of people in the world, and the world needs both kinds. One is the type of person who excels and thrives mentally when his/her world is organized and safe and steady, danger minimized, adrenalin chargers kept to a minimum. The person is happier that way, and it's right and good.
The other kind of person is one who excels and thrives mentally when he can take time to live "on the edge" in some way or another. For his/her own mental health, they must do something to chase adrenalin -- ride roller coasters, skydive, shoot guns in competition, drive fast cars, ride fast horses, surf gigantic waves, etc. They most assuredly don't have death wishes -- on the contrary, they have a lust for life -- it only manifests itself differently than the non-adrenalin chasers' equal love of life. Ford is obviously an adrenalin chaser, God bless him. I am SO relieved that he is safe, sound, and well. Thank you, lord! Now please, Lord, help him see the light and become a limited government conservative!!!
