once again proving the problem is located between the seat and the keyboard,
"phxbrd" <phxbrd@earthlink.net> two-fingered to all:

Yeah, victims of their own illegal actions.  And Tyson was a victim of that
horrible seductress that forced him to rape her.  

However, I will point out that it's illegal to refuse a person water in the
State of Arizona if you have a ready supply and are asked.  That doesn't mean I
think we should facilitate their actions by placing water stations in the
desert.  Nor do I condone their destruction of the property of the ranchers of
the area.  This, as with all criminal pursuits should not be facilitated.  They
know the risks before they set out.  Asking us to mitigate their self determined
risk is just more nannyism.
