Something here I found very disturbing today
Advertisements [?]
A thread is up and going, discussing whether or not people who engage in extreme sports, such as mountain climbing, should be held liable for search and rescue expenses.

On another blog on which I post, people, albeit right wingers, were saying pretty much the same thing about Katrina evacuees.

I know they are apples and oranges, but there is a certain point: all of those people were caught in dire situations, and needed to be rescued.

Isn't that what those services are for? To rescue PEOPLE? Regardless of how they came to be in those situations?
