Megan McArdle Does It Again

Megan McArdle (March 17, 2008) - Bear attack:

"No one who took excessively risky behavior--even if they honestly didn't realize it was excessively risky behavior--should escape without getting spanked, hard. Pain is nature's way of saying 'Don't do that!', a lesson that apparently a lot of us needed to learn.

True that.

Alas, we live in an imperfect world, and the price of preventing catastrophes is that you will have more of them to prevent.

Nice turn of phrase. Now I know why she gets the big bucks.
