88, You posted this at the same time, I did. So, I pulled my thread instead of leaving your thread for dead...
********************
Hilary has found an easy one to get attention and get support from most humans...
********************************************************
I'm no high climber but I could not go on climbing while some guy lay dying (and not getting medical attention).
I understand it is part of an intense sport where people do die to keep moving on but you have to make sure the guy is in good hands first...
I agree with Hillary and the article.. It's wrong IMO to walk or climb past a dying guy without offering him help. Especially when your own life is not in danger (as evidenced by them climbing up and not while climbing down).
It is wrong to see a man suffering altitude problems, huddled under a rock, to just lift your hat, say 'good morning' and pass on by...
I understand there are alot of cold stiffs on Everest and it is probably some crazy honor to die on the Mountain but I could not walk on by.
*************
I guess that will be part of her Presidential Campaign.
Can you come up with some slogans for Hillary?

Nothing like killing yourself trying to climb a giant stone penis.

So when are they going to give it a proper name? K2? What the fuck is that?
Sounds good to me... I would have given it a different consonant, though.

Actually went skiing right next to that. It is an Italian town named Cervinia. Other side of the mountain is Swiss and the town there is named Zermatt. Nice place......

I was reading through this thread wondering why nobody else had commented on that. I hope he was joking...

If you think I'm going to look at her that closely, then you better think again.

This is a thread about a person in need being overlooked. Yet Wolf chooses to talk about Hillary Clinton.
Figures.
Republicans only believe in helping others where there's a tax shelter or deduction involved.

Actually, sounds like a nice family vacation w/the wife and kids.
