I don't want to be safe and I don't want others deciding for me what I need to be safe. I don't want to wear seatbelts or helmets or parachutes or any of that, oh, wait, that is what we used to call FREEDOM, something we are loosing everyday here in the Peoples Republick of Amerika.
"Did Lindbergh fly the Atlantic in a 757 with advanced GPS navigation? Did Columbus sail with an inboard for backup (and GPS as well)? Did John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, et al., go into space with the most advanced safety options of today?"
I don't understand the point, they might have chosen to go as they were! This is to me like watching a marathon while sipping a cool beer on the couch vs. actually running the thing. I have run a marathon several times, I could have taken a car with seatbelts, airbags, ABS, computer navigation, On Star and airconditioning but that ain't running a marathon and dressing up in an entire dive shop inventory of safety gear is not diving, not vintage diving anyways.
