Distinguishing sad from stupid

Two stories relating to the cold weather afflicting the entire nation or at least most of the northwest for that matter.

At first was the story of the family that got stuck in a snow storm only because they took a wrong turn and children lost their father because he manned-up and tried to brave the weather and get them help. James Kim dying in a snow storm was an actual tragedy.


James Kim --- just minding his business on the way to the inlaws house, got caught in a storm in a real unfamiliar place, tried to get help for the fam, nature too fierce, he died..... real sad.



On the other hand, you got these adventure seeking guys, about three of them. Whats the best thing to do when its cold as f*ck? Climb a mountain...yup. First of all I really hope that they get found and don't end up frozen or nothing like that but it seems really idiotic for people to do some shit like that. Yeah we all seek thrills every now and then but if your thrills means getting other people in harm's way just to find you... that ain't really a thrill, its something else.
