Stranger
Danger
By
now, you've probably heard about that lost Boy Scout in Utah who was
rescued earlier today after being missing for four days.
My
first thought is how awlful that must have been; that poor child. Then
you read the details of why it took so long to find the kid:
After reading this, I thought that kid deserved to be lost.
I mean, what a dumb ass. You're out there alone, without food, cold.
You hear people approaching so you get off the trail and hide?
Apparently, his parents taught him something called "stranger danger".
This
might be excusable if the kid was 6 or 7 years old, but this boy was
11. ELEVEN. I'm sorry, but if you lack the common sense for survival
instinct, maybe nature is just weeding you out.
What
an idiot. When this kid gets back to school, someone should kick his
ass for being so stupid.
