Comment Re:The Future is FAR from Secure (Score 1) 303

I was an exchange student in high school (92), about 10 of us went to the Goethe Gymnasium in Dusseldorf Germany for a few weeks (we spent some additional time traveling). I was impressed with the system, it was very much like college is here in the US. The thing that I remember the best is the most senior class had just finished their finals (Arbiture?). They then proceeded to bring in a stage and brought out the beer. The school let our after the second period and as long as you stood outside a yellow line about 6ft from the building. We partied, the cops showed up to make sure things didn't get out of control, but we stood there and chatted with them while drinking moderately. After the school day was over there was a bar that everyone met up in.

That was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Unfortunately, I've fallen out of touch with the family that hosted me.

Yes, common sense is very important in the CO mountains/ any wilderness. I've done 20 14er's and my wife has done 55 (just bagged Capitol). I've seen plenty of stupid out here. The thing to keep in mind though is SHIT happens even the most experienced can have a bad day, get fucked by mother nature or have an accident.
