1. But, did they have cell coverage?

If not, then by today's standards, they were in the wilderness.

7. ???, they had t.v.though, wink n/t

2. Yeah, America isn't interested in voting machines that don't work anyway

They want to hear about people who have to eat their feet. Or almost have to.

6. Yeah - but this family didn't even seem to be in any real danger

They camped with all the necessitys.

And, then they found help.

Media's really reaching!

5. I have lived for 21 days with a tarp and a sleeping bag

in remote Alaska.

Does that mean I get a CNN story too?

10. I hiked ten days through a canyon in New Mexico without a cell phone,

an iPod, an SUV, or trendy pre-ripped clothing, and rarely even used the tent I brought... where's my CNN story?

And many of them are still going through worse.
