With age comes wisdom. How many times have we heard that? I look back at things I did 20 years ago, or things I said, attitudes towards things.... I come to a situation that was similar to something many years ago and think, now when I was 20 I would've just......, but now I'm gonna do this.....and it's usually less inspired. I feel the same concern for any youngster's safety, but it's ONLY because I've been around long enough to see the dangers for what they are. Anyway, I thought we were supposed to be developing into a more enlightened society, not a nanny planet. Isn't it better that these youths go on their adventures with the support they have, than have them steal away in the night, alone? If some kid said they were gonna sail away with no support, some would decry them as being so foolish when there are such great support methods in place. Here, we have kids that are willing to take the challenge, and despite having worldwide support in some form or another, they're called foolish for thinking such a thing. Maybe they won't all make it. Maybe they're not supposed to. That's life. Remember?
