Then there are the other kind of people who just sit down and wait to die (I have a sister like that).
Many people (most of the people here!) that have a grain of self-preservation probably don't get themselves into poor situations in the first place. But if one is bestowed upon them, they deal with it.
In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised that the folks here might welcome a situation where they were able to test their knowledge (and "stuff") to see how they handle it. As a challenge, don't you know! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
