Whereabouts (May 18)

It is generally considered a safe habit amongst outdoors people to let someone know what your plans are and where you are going in the event that something should happen. In this instance should something go wrong there is someone who can alert authorities giving survival a much better chance. In life in general this is also a good habit to get into in everyday life. With the way the world is headed and with all the desperate people out there, it seems to only be a matter of time before one finds themselves in a precarious position. To have someone that knows where you are going and when you are going to return it is quite clear that authroities can begin working within the same day that something happens rather than several days or months later. The funny part about it all is that it seems that the government wants to take more and more control over your life and knowing exactly what you are doing. You ahve to have some form of identification on you at all times as a mater of legality. Then if you own any property such as land or some kind of vehicle, the government wants to knwo the whereabouts of those items as well. Then every year you get to pay taxes tell the government where you spend your time from the simple standpoint of where your income is coming from. It should not be hard for someone to figure out the whereabouts of any person in this country as long as they were able to have access to enough government information. Sure it may be a safe practice amongst friends and family but it is hard to call the government your friend.
