Stupid is as stupid does :-(

GPS devices don't kill people. Lack of common sense many times does.

As I recently read somewhere, "Common sense isn't very common".

How unfortunate that the one lady lost her 6 year old child because she lacked a little common sense and maybe a lot of practical knowledge. As "Darwin awards" have been postumously awarded to persons that have died at their own dumb actions, when someone else is the victim, it's a tragedy.

The last words by many Darwin awards recipients are rumored to be, "Watch this!"

Unfortunately, GPS devices with an "anti-moron" option have not been built yet. What a sad statement of the decline of human intelligence :-(
