The current political environment (in the US, and everywhere else, it seems) were inspiration enough to add another line to my website:

This time we're the lesser evils
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In line with what you are saying, I will ask people to consider the following:
with a population of 370 Million to choose from, don't you think we could do better than this?

Damn right!

I thought it was a slide as in water parks was amazed that it is so cheap. Then, clicked on the link and was disappointed. I am sure there are many who would pay for this thrill.

Maybe, but being terrified of heights, there's no way I'm going to do that.
Actually, I'll save myself $32, because I'm considering NOT using it FOUR times in a row!

Save them and then go for sky diving. One of the instructors told me that even people with fear of heights can do it. I would appreciate if you can confirm that for me since I am not afraid of heights.

I can't really confirm it, but I believe that he might be right. I would POSSIBLY have considered testing skydiving if it wasn't because I've got heart problems. But I honestly believe that I could have done that even with fear of heights.

If you have a family, then maybe even more since you would not consider taking them either.

Precisely! There's no telling how much money I'm actually saving. The sky is the limit!

I take it you read the story(I am too lazy to google) of the Chinese glass bridge that cracked?

Nope, but now that you mentioned it, I Goodled it. And I'm not having anything of that either!

Why not? Unless you go down on your stomach you actually, physically can't look down!

No jumping of bridges or perfectly good airplanes for you either I guess.

Not bridges, no. But if it hadn't been for heart problems, I think I COULD have been pursuaded to try jumping out of a plane. Height, when it is THAT high, feels quite different, and (at least to me, and quite irrationally so) it doesn't seem like a parachute jump from several thousand meters would be as dangerous as falling off a 2 meter ladder.
The knowledge that you do have a parachute at least should be some comfort.

So... have you tried jumping down a 2m ladder with a parachute yet?
