Well there's plenty of Darwinism around here... the bodies show up regularly. We even had a guy crawl into a dumpster to sleep it off, not realizing the thing was actually a trash compactor. Oh well.

But enough of this... the misuse and abuse of money is a far greater problem. Did you notice that many of the air travelers stranded by Iceland's volcano ended up stranded and broke?

You'd think that most global travelers would be well-heeled enough to cover an emergency, but nooooooo! Lots of them had to wire home for money. Maybe they're the types who max out their credit cards, and cash out their home equity to blow it on fun stuff. I certainly have friends of this sort, and its painful to watch the problems they get into.
