The government should only be blamed for injuries of people depending on the situation of the event. It was said that David Potts, 44, of San Anselmo, California was reportedly dancing around a blowhole at Maui’s popular Nakalele Point.  The place has started a controversy about who should be responsible for warning visitors about the place’s dangers: the government, or the landowner. It is said that there has been warning signs prior to entering the place. But I believe that no one has considered another part to all of this: common sense. Just after one day after Potts’ accident a man named Paul Tam Mai, 22, of Sunnyvale, California was killed when a wave knocked him off a rocky cliff of another location. Is it the government’s fault that people are dying? Maybe it is simply because people have no common sense and are not paying attention to the possible consequences that are the outcome of their actions. All I can say is that when there is a warning sign, people should take it seriously.
