outcomes as well?  Most individuals only claim responsibility in cases in which
they are fully responsible for their actions.  Living within a country which
houses a large amount of private enterprise, we often find ourselves relying on

power to choose which avenue of help will be taken.  In these cases in which we
have the choice, should we not also be held responsible for the outcomes of our
decisions, especially in cases in which we have been pre-warned about any
inherent risks or dangers?  For example, When we take it upon ourselves to drive

discount airline at our own volition, do we tacitly consent to take
responsibility for any outcome these actions may hold?  The "assumption of risk"
doctrine seems to ignore the fundamental obligation
