No, I am saying that with all this confusion we error toward life.
I agree, in principle. However, having driven an ambulance for a living for several years and having seen the videos and listened to the experts I'm 99.99% convinced that she isn't alive anymore.
Since I believe that dying is not the worst thing that can happen to someone that .01% of uncertainty isn't enough to make me leave my job, home and family to go intervene in this affair.
If I were even 70-30 unconvinced I would feel compelled to go do something.
That's my point.
If you're convinced, if you want a hero to go "do something," then don't wait for someone else to do it. Go yourself, or stop bitching about it.
Looking for a hero outside yourself is what leads to demagogues and "great leaders" who will take a case like this and spin it into the death of thousands, if not millions.
We don't need that kind of hero. We need more folks like Josh Heldreth. Ordinary folks who take it upon themselves to do what's right, as they see it, not to "be a hero." To do what's right.
...once you know what is right, it's hard not to do it...
Totally irrelevant aside, with a handle like "The Wizard," have you read Rick Cook's "Wizardry" series?
Finally, if you can remember the 60s, particularly as a "hippie," then you didn't really live throught them. I know. I was there. At least I think I was... ;^>
