One of our more care free politicians urged a gentleman from AIG to commit suicide if he would not accept an option regarding the economic meltdown. This type of discriminatory and selfish remark is certainly not becoming of a representative in our government. While our suicide rate is low due to the efforts of our outstanding mental health system, research and development, and highly trained law enforcement agencies who together are cohesively preventative, the other side is that there are millions of Americans suffering from depression and suicidal ideation who were not benefited and maybe set back by this cavalier suggestion. What if the beleaguered AIG executive took him up on it and jumped out the window?. This in a country with air tight anti-discrimination laws do we elect an official who with one shell shot offends half of our country.
