Excellent comment (I forget your name?). That is my hope as well. Though I never would hope for it to happen This way. Thanks again for a great sentiment. Damien Rileys last blog post..Promoting Amazing Visions - Blog Carnival Edition 3

I think that our “I gotta get mine” society has gotten to the point the vast majority of people will do anything to get ahead and that includes stepping on others. This creates those who feel dejected and that there is no hope for a happy life. I am hoping this economic recession will bring us all together so we forget about who has the most toys and help each other get through the hard times ahead.

I think that probably one of the saddest parts about this is the fact that this was financially driven (at least from what I have heard) and that he felt that there was no other way out.... In a roundabout way, money (or the lack thereof) cost this family their lives....as a society, I think we should make it easier for people to reach out when they really need the help rather than all the negative stigmas that are put on a bad financial situation. Yes people need to care, but people also need to reach out when they need a friend. Nicks last blog post..New Gmail Feature For Drunk People

Terribly sad story, and unfortunately, not all that an uncommon one. People who are suicidal are not only a danger to themselves, they can also be a danger to those around them. Depression severely alters your thought process and a murder-suicide like this can actually be seen by the person as an act of caring. That the world and life just suck so bad that they are actually saving the others from similar pain and suffering. I didn't know this until today, but it's National Mental Illness Awareness Week. I was thinking of writing some posts attempting to explain what I could and possibly debunking some myths. This story should remind us all that depression is an illness and not something you can just "cowboy up and shake off". Want to join me with a post or two this week?
