This subject can get wildly political very quickly. My opinion is that I should be allowed to go wherever I damn well please when I please to do it, and no government agency or worker should be able to tell me no. Seriously.
But it also shouldn't be on those same agencies and people to save my butt when I have clearly gotten myself in over my head.
I'm wondering which came first: the governments desire to limit these things, or the responsibility for the government to save (and pay for) the people who are trying to get themselves killed. One is definitely the result of the other, there is no doubt in my mind of that.
