Default Proposal: The Steve Fossett Airmans Search Project

Thing about this is:

This project is looking for a corpse. Who cares? Well I can see
that perhaps his close relatives might, but otherwise if you want
unclaimed corpses there are plenty easier ones around.

The resources that it is proposed to use for this could in
my view be deployed in a more productive manner elsewhere.

What do you think Mr Fossett would have thought of spending
money looking for a desicated (or saturated) old corpse? By
now likely just a pile of bones.

By all means gather the cash, however give it to an Education
charity (perhaps in Africa), or a Cancer care charity, or a medical
research charity, or Bill Gates, or Google, or the state of Iowa.
Send it to Burma, somehow - make that happen instead.

Don't just **** it away. I doubt Mr Fossett would have
approved of that.
