I Can't Complain (but sometimes I still do)

The huge national story of James Kim and his family lost in the wilderness of Grant's Pass, Oregon has brought about many a sensitive and thoughtful response about how tragic his death was. But not from me. My first thoughts on the subject, before his body was even found, was how much better it would be for him to just die in that forest. Inevitably, if he was found alive, he and his wife would argue over who's fault it was that they came to be stuck in the snow on that desolate mountain road. This would be followed by a vicious divorce where his wife would get the kids, the house, the car stuck in the snow, as well as all his money, and his life would be over anyways. So he was better off dying in the woods. Alone. Frozen. Hungry. But with Honor. That and a generous life insurance policy payout for his wife and kids to better remember him by.
