Simple, that she should enjoy her very brave and wonderful adventure, but not expect the tax payers of Japan or any other country to pick up the tab when it all goes pear shaped. If that is the case.
Judging by the comment section of several British newspapers, Im not alone!
Same goes for the herds of mountaineers "rescued" at great expense on the slopes of Japan`s peaks every year. Should be a sign at the bottom saying " Its a mountain, its dangerous... you have been warned and will be charged for rescue."
Well you finally made your point but I disagree. Firstly the comment section of any daily paper is hardly an idicator of reasoned thought but that's another issue.
Better put the same sign in any coastal town subject to possible tsunami and anywhere within a 120km radius of a nuclear facility. I think the occasional sea rescue is not beyond the means of a moden society to pay for, after all the same tax payers are perfectly happy paying for coast guard ships travelling to Antartica killing whales. Whale bacon or human lives, which is worth more?
