"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Ground Zero Suicide Inspired by Election

(AP) -- NEW YORK - A 25-year-old man from Georgia who was apparently distraught over President Bush (news - web sites)'s re-election shot and killed himself at ground zero. Andrew Veal's body was found Saturday morning inside the off-limits site, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. A shotgun was found nearby, but no suicide note was found, Coleman said.

It's stupid on many levels, not the least of which being not only was the creation of "Ground Zero" not President Bush's fault in the first place, but thru his actions there hasn't been a second "Ground Zero" created during his first term in office.

Moron. I should be happy though. He took himself out of the gene pool. Perhaps his "protest" can serve as an example to others. To follow...
