Authorities: 3 swept over waterfall presumed dead
At first he saw a man on the far side of a safety railing next to the 317-foot (100-meter) falls holding a screaming girl while another young girl took their photograph.
Two others in their party then crossed the barricade to pose for photos on a rock 50 feet (15 meters) upstream from the falls. He said the woman on the rock slipped and the man fell in trying to reach her. Another woman also fell in trying to stop them.

Some problems correct themselves without the intervention of governments or social programs.
Safety railing.
Didn't do them much good.
But then you have to grasp where the object is for.

At some point in the last 20 years, the left moved to the center, and the right moved into a mental institution
"Grasp" is the key word there.
The sad part is the screaming girl who was being held. SHE knew she didn't belong there. Sounds like she wasn't one of the victims, but she easily could have been thanks to SOMEONE ELSE'S stupidity.

It got them before they were able to reproduce, too. Perfect example of natural selection in action.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
The article used the expression, "swept over."
'Way back when I was watching a a travelogue by Stan Midgeley (or it could have been Dennis Glen Cooper),
Time out....you probably wonder who those two dudes were. They were solo free-lance cinematographers who filmed awesome scenery and did outstanding narration. Stan Midgeley did a lot of his travel by bicycle & he did lots of gag shots like empty shoes dancing to his harmonica, etc. They were shown regularly on TV in Detroit, but I don't think there were a lot of showings elsewhere. Neither has much of a web presence.
OK...so in one of those travelogues, the narrator made a point, during a shot from the top of a waterfall, of warning the viewer that you CAN get swept over. Something about the air currents or maybe the spray. At the same time he explained that the shot that looked like he was standing right next to the top of the falls wasn't what it appeard. He was well back and safe. I was probably about 6 or 7 at the time. Our family vacations for the next 3 years included lot of waterfall viewings in the UP of MI and back then there was no pretection, anywhere, around waterfalls. I stood well away from the top!
Guess those people weren't aware of the phenomenon?

Speaking of Darwin, the batshit crazy set is at it again as the Theory of Evolution is up for a vote again in states like Texas and Kansas. When you click on the link, take a moment to reflect on this woman's face and how the photographer captured her inner batshit.

Evolution is just too scary and confusing. Uncle daddy, tell me the story again of how grandpa brother and granny cousin started the world.

Well, who in their right mind can pit a natural selection type, survival of the fittest, social and economic platform directly against a disbelief in evolution without at least cracking a smile?

Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.
Kind of like, they're blowing themselves out of their own proverbial water.
Evolution and creation can coexist together very naturally and logically. But then, we wouldn't have these zoos to amuse us.
