		<description>Total Agreement!

However, I myself have a different slant that has bugged me for the last week.  How can we as a society spend upwards of a half million or more, to "rescue" 3 people who took on an extremely dangerous task for fun?  I just drove by over a dozen homeless people on my way to work.  We can rescue the climbers, but not give a dime to poverty?

Call me callous, I don't care.  But when you take risks like that, you should be on your own.  America needs to get it's priorities straight!
