Those darned Americans!

I just think public accolades, recognition and gratitude is way more appropriate than offering people a million dollars when they show bravery.

If you honestly can't see how awarding people millions of dollars in such situations could realistically set a dangerous precedent for greedy glory-seekers, then consider me dull-headed my friend.

I can take it! Smiley_emoticons_smile

I'm not saying a government should pay out.

Not saying anybody SHOULD.

However, while the public accolades are great, a monetary reward would really be cool from a public or anonomous donor.

And, if you really think the world becomes worse off on the premise that too many doo gooders will be wrongly taking down 'apparent' criminals because they're seeking a payout, then I really have nothing to say to that train of logic.
