  • I worked as the director of health for a major kids camp in Canada for a long while. This phone call would have come to me at our camp. We had almost 1000 people across three sites in our summer camp then. Only three people on each site had phones permanently but I guarantee this would have been responded to immediately. Evacuation plans in place and reviews and updates for them every year. I received emergency calls all the time. Day and night.

    I guess what I’m getting at is there shouldn’t have been that many people in one place without Evac plans, having practiced them and someone who answers an emergency line 24 hours a day who has experience and knowledge in emergency situations. An hour warning is more than enough time to evac this small a camp if you are prepared.

    Not just the state and weather are to blame for this tragedy. The camp needs to bear just as much responsibility. They’ve taken on these children with the responsibility to care for and protect them. They didn’t do that.











  • Cities make people crazy.

    I didn’t once say cites are full of boogeymen. I’ve not even suggested I was scared of the city. I mentioned nothing about different lifestyles either. In fact I didn’t even tell you whether I lived in a city or not and you know nothing about my own lifestyle. It’s not childish. It’s reality. Here we are with a bunch of people drawing assumptions about me simply because I made a statement they don’t agree with. That’s what is childish.
