Again, none of you want to recognize that diving is NOT high risk behavior. We DO NOT have to die. I do things you guys can't immagine every time I get in the water, and never get close to dying. I don't even get cold or hungry, let alone die. On the other hand, you can't make it out of the barn door without killing somebody out of sheer stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, and inability to learn from the past. You electronic wizzards forget that these are real people, and that the families grieve and obsess on this for years. I was getting calls from Penny Turner for two years after Parker died, and JJ was gettting calls from Sherwood's fiance and mother for three years. They just could not understand , they wanted to take the horror of their loved ones drowning out of their nightmares - the nightmares that YOU , and the rest of you blithering idiots are causing. How many more are you dumb asses going to kill before you admit you are wrong, you have no clue, you copied each others' stupidity, and you bet a huge wad of money trying to be a bunch of big shots. You are all extreme pussies for not having the balls to do what is right. RMC wrote: > > Look, the rebreather will be fine, if found.
