  Emergency/survival situations are exceptions to most rules IMLTHO, but poor 
planning on my part should not be reason to violate someone else's rights.  
It is the self determination aspect of Ralph's suggestion that concerns me.
  I determine whether or not to trespass.  I am sure that Ralph is/was a

  Simple Rule Number 2
     If it isn't yours, don't touch it without asking permission first.
  Simple Rule Number 1 (for those of you that are counting)
     Consider the effect of your action on the surrounding community prior to 
committing the action. (Ripple Effect)
