The wisdom of people demanding more wi-fi access in our National Parks, while every year more morons are walking off cliffs while on their phones or doing “selfies” of their last moments, before rangers have to risk their lives to recover the morons’ bodies.
So isn’t this the opposite of what leftists are all about? They try prevent people from suffering the consequences of being lazy, stupid, or careless, right?
A woman recently filed a $32 million lawsuit against BN railroad, its engineer, Washington county, the city of Beaverton and the state of Oregon for gross negligence because she lost both of her legs (one above the knee the other below) after being ran over by a freight train.
According to police and NTSB reports, the woman was wearing a hoodie, with earbuds in her ears and texting or looking at her phone when she walked in front of, and struck, by the train. The street gate was down and it’s bells were ringing for traffic. The lead locomotive was blasting its horn as it approached the street where the woman was hit, and yet all of the above defendants are at fault for not having a gate on the sidewalk to prevent a pedestrian from stepping in front of a moving train.
The lawsuit is for pain and suffering, lost current and future wages, medical and rehabilitation expenses and loss of quality of life.
Shit, she’s lucky to be alive! The real question is, who needs to be held accountable and held responsible?
It’s not learning if you don’t survive the experience. Well, unless somebody ELSE learns something. I bet you can see the landing zone from the “enlightenment” ledge.

I don’t get it. I never use WiFi. I don’t even have a smart phone. Why am I still so stupid?

Is “smart phone” an oxymoron?

Seek wisdom first, then think about other types of Wi Fi if you like.

Love the videos where they fall in holes, fountains; and slam into poles. The sad ones are where they kill people with their cars.
