Maybe its because they rebuilt the Superdome before housing all the people in the Ninth Ward.

That might make me want to kill myself if I had lost my house.

Maybe because Fastow got 6 years and small time drug dealers get 20 or more. That might make me want to die.

Maybe because my tax dollars are going to Halliburton... or my money gets turned into profits by a few billionaires at the top, and then they turn around and get a great idea to give the money back to the world as charity (or to churches) and they get all the credit for being the good guys just because their fair share doesn't go to the commonwealth anymore. Suicidal anyone?

How about the fact that there's an Office of Faith Based issues in the White House and they're giving cash to Black Churches who are inching their way over to the republican side of the aisle. Shoot me.

I'm guessing it has more to do with the amount of desperation in this country. Poverty and illness (We still don't have a national health plan)...

I seem to remember a while back that a man was actually going to die of some terminal illness and he stopped traffic on a Freeway and killed himself after letting the world know how fucked up our health care system is.

I don't necessarily blame the guy.

Desperation. I imagine. I'm guessing your question was rhetorical and you had just as many theories as I do, but I had to say something. The state of our union makes me want to die sometimes too. Lucky I don't have a gun around or I might actually do it (sarcasm).
