To Sue Those That Would Save You

Article
What has this country come to? Does personal responsibility no longer exist? Where does this gross sense of entitlement come from? The link above is about a well publicised event that happened last winter whereby two grown adults made a choice of their own free will to ski in an area out of bounds and it was clearly marked as such might add.

They got themselves lost and during several days of being lost the man's wife died from he elements before finally being rescued. Now clearly this is everyone else's fault except for the two boneheads that decided to ignore the warnings and get themselves lost. I have yet to read anywhere in this politically correct country that calls this guy out and puts the blame squarely where it needs to be - Mr. Blackburn's shoulders. Poor Mr. Blackburn, woe is him, that poor man. Please. So now the lone survivor is suing everyone for failing to rescue his sorry ass in time to save his wife.

BC rescue teams are closing up shop because they do not have the insurance to deal with lawsuits from selfish, ignorant people like this guy. Look, Mr. Blackburn and people like you, you have absolutely no one to blame for your situation but yourself. How dare you sue the people that rescued you from your own stupidity? Having said that, it makes some sense to me as to why you are suing - stupidity.

You people need to accept responsibility for your actions and stop blaming everyone else and standing there with your hand out for some sort of 'owed' compensation. The good people of the Golden rescue team or anyone else for that matter does not need to put their lives at risk to save morons like you from your own bad choices.

This country needs to stop pandering to the likes of Mr. Blackburn and entertaining these sorts of lawsuits. Politicians jumping through hoops to make laws and spend tax dollars trying to save every last fool in this country from themselves is a gross waste of time and resources. If you are dumb enough to ignore clearly posted warning signs and get yourself into trouble then you can and should deal with the ramifications of your decisions - why is it society's fault and responsibility? Natural selction works for every other species on this planet, perhaps it is time humans give it a try.
