[Ansteorra] Ansteorra Digest, Vol 34, Issue 29

[Pukhta 'Pooky' Lovvek]

I do not claim nor have any evidence to show, that I understand how
the modern world works.

It is undeniably necessary for there to be people who are not actively
engaged in fighting to be supplying water to those who are in 95+
degree Ansteorran heat, heavy heat absorbent metal, expending energy,
fending off opportunities to be literally physically wounded.
If people are not there to be on immediate hand to squirt the water in
the visor our friends, someone will heat stroke and die.
Sure we can say let them fight and hydrate (or not) at their own risk
that way the Society be less culpable, but here is where my lack of
modern understanding comes to query, is Society even more at legal
risk for permitting an activity and purposely not providing a crucial
safety feature like hydration when the cause and effect is so clear
cut?

Lets hope this isn't first addressed in a wrongful death suit. Maybe a
waiver Pontius Pilot's the SCA completely, we'll see....

Mundanely I'm an olfactorial sensing neanderthal by lineage, and when
it smells like the responsibility for peoples safety is being
abdicated I feel disappointed and sad. Then I manifest ways to take
the responsibility upon myself.

See you at Gulf War. If your thirsty just look up I'll be there (if permitted),
