The Darwin awards are for the best approaches, normally successful, to removing yourself from the gene pool. The latest attempt by American Rebecca Clark shows how to do it in so many ways, a solo walk in a park, poor phone reception and then getting within a few feet of a 2000-pound bison. Normally this ends up Bison 1 — young woman 0.  Fortunately, she survived although after being gored but there is a message here, ‘Don’t be stupid.’ There is too much tragedy in some many places around the world, some intentional, some accidental and some plain out stupid but all a loss and sad.

Wake up people, live in peace, enjoy smelling the roses and don’t go near deadly animals or people.
