Quotation of the moment:

Fraser: Where I come from...the challenges are quite different. There are no drug dealers or pimps, few thieves to
bother with. There's only the environment, and surviving in the face of it is the challenge...of the Inuit. A mother gives birth somewhere out on a glacier field, hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost. And she knows the odds are stacked against her son even living to see the spring; disease, or the lack of food, the elements. And even if he should survive and grow to be a boy, she knows very well that all he has to do is lose his footing on the smooth surface of a glacier and that will be that. In other words, she should know that her son...cannot live. So, why should she try? Well, I know this woman. I helped deliver her son. She was weak and undernourished, but the next morning she stood up and she picked her child up in her arms and...and she set out again into the blinding snow and I think...I think that was the single most courageous act I've ever seen.
