mountain climbers
Those three guys are obviously in great shape and very daring. The three who are missing on their climb of Mt. Hood in Oregon. And I think it's fabulous that we live in a country where we can do something really dangerous, get into trouble, and get rescued just because we're part of the American family. At least millions of examples take place every day. But how come these three are getting such super duper military equipment sent after them? So secret that the Army guy at the press conference this morning said he didn't have clearance to explain what it did, when a newsman asked. Do they work for the military, or do their parents? Think of the many taxpayer dollars and the hundreds of people who have risked their lives in this search. I don't begrudge them any of it, I just wonder whether it would be quite the same for all of us and, if not, who these folks really are. My fairness sensors are reacting, I guess.
