I agree that some things are out of the drivers
control, but I'm not sure what those reasons can
be.  Every time the driver makes a decision, it's
that decision that can get him/her and their
passengers into trouble.  Sure, you're trying to
stretch a dollar to make it a little farther.  Or
are you being "penny wise, pound foolish?"  If you
run out of gas then it will most likely cost you
more in the long run.  You end up losing both time
and money.  I say it's part of our impatience that
gets us into trouble.  So if your gas gauge doesn't
work, then whose fault is it that it doesn't get
fixed?  Not yours?  Well then who's is it?  Give
me a break.  It's your own fault and you pay the
price down the road for not being better prepared.
You don't have the money?  Balony.  You have the
money.  You just don't want to spend it on that.
You want to buy something else that you don't
need.  It's all about decisions.  Like ones that
the unfortunate Mr. Kim made when he didn't want
to take advice from the Forest service personnel.

I know this sounds callous but we all make decisions
that can get us in to trouble or keep us out of it.
But don't chaulk it up to bad luck when it really
is about the choices we make.

I'll toss the soap box back out there for someone
else to tear apart my blah-blah...
