   Even the almighty State cannot always have the equipment
   to perfectly handle EVERY situation EVERYwhere EVERYtime.

   People tend to seek "remote places" in Hawaii - which just
   exacerbates the situation. It's kind of like the people
   who climb Mt. Hood ... weather/wind and often very precarious
   locations sometimes make quick rescue impossible. Basically,
   go out into the wild and you have to assume you're ON YOUR
   OWN - rescue MIGHT be had, or NOT.

   They didn't say exactly WHY she was dead, apparently having
   got into a little raft kinda early on. Hypothermia ? Blunt
   force trauma ? Too much dope ?

   Oh, and did "defund" logic also cut into the rescue-force
   budget ?

   Well, let's form a plan ... entitled little WokieSocialists
   aren't allowed to leave the city limits from now on  :-)
