Groan, wth is wrong with some people?

So much material here, but aside from the fact that a lawyer just took himself out of the gene pool and curiously opted not to go solar, I guess it is sad a human life was taken.

And then

“I am David Buckel and I just killed myself by fire as a protest suicide,” read a hand-written suicide note left near the blackened circle of burned grass. “I apologize to you for the mess.”

A nationally known advocate for gay rights and the environment died Saturday in a fiery Prospect Park suicide, with his self-immolation meant as a wake-up call to save the planet.

SO HE CREATES A LITTLE 'GLOBAL WARMING' AND A 'TOXIC WASTE' SITE IN A PUBLIC PARK TO MAKE HIS POINT...A BREACH IN MY SENSE OF LOGIC HERE!

When a rock star dies of a drug related problem they always say, "He couldn't cope with his demons" Same thing here ... his passion caused the problem

Myself grinning from one ear to the other, this story maybe rivals my link to the Palestinian tire story I posted earlier today.

Using fossil fuel to set yourself ablaze in protest to using fossil fuel...? Sure this is no standup comedian competition?

No, I do not think that really every loss of life always has to be mourned about.

That's true, I think he was someone who needed help, but the way he did it was pathetic and funny at the same time.
