YUPPIE 911

From Don Surber:

The quote of the day has to go to Matt Scharper, head of California’s Search and Rescue operation, who spoke of On-Star and other GPS devices: “With the Yuppie 911, you send a message to a satellite and the government pulls your butt out of something you shouldn’t have been in in the first place.”

Rescuers are a tad peeved at people who take on the wilderness but still want someone to save them at the first sign of trouble.

The least we can do is to let these people pay for their own rescues.
