Reservist Commits Suicide Over 4,000 dollars?

New York City: Reservist Commits Suicide Over City Job

No offense...but 4 thousand dollars! 4 million dollars in not enough to kill yourself over. But 4 thou is, well, silly. That's like a nickle in today's Bushbubble world. Which reminds me of a screenplay I wrote once, called "Prick in the Balloon". Who, or what, will be the prick that pricks the Bush balloon? This feller who felt death was better than not having 4 thousand dollars?

Look. The point is not to deride the dead, or his relatives. The point is...look deeper. Was he on medication? If so...why? And for what?

Surely he didn't do himself in out of greed. Maybe he knew something. Maybe he was going to talk.

He died. Don't let his story die with him.
