Re: [at-l] Re: cell phones

You know, I am sorry that two of the people I respect most on the list
misunderstood me.  I am *not* advocating everyone carrying cel phones - (or
guns).  I just don't think that the people who choose to do so should be made
to feel that doing so is *wrong* or *useless*, as long as they are courteous
in their use around other hikers. I don't even own one. (although I do own a
gun, and no, I don't pack it when hiking)  We all carry different gear for
different reasons.  No one tells the person that spends hundreds of dollars on
a good warm sleeping bag that they are wrong, just because we get by with a
cheaper, lighter, less warm bag.  I am just saying, lets respect other peoples
opinions, instead of acting like the only opinion that is right is our own.

If we use the 'saves lives' reason for having one, doesn't that mean that 
everyone should always have one everywhere we go? -- Felix>>
