I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
This one isn't good enough for a Darwin but as it's local I'll post it here. I've been to Starved Rock a couple times, as well as to Mississippi Palisades, which both feature limestone cliffs, which are often sheer and very unstable when they're being undercut by a river. One of either park's big rules is that you stay on the paths. All the observation points have platforms with railings - no platform, you don't go there, period. The fact that this teen died disobeying the rules is the fault of his own stupidity, nothing more.
