The suicide of a parent is a very destructive thing, and children of suicides are much more likely to take their own lives. Suicide is, in the end, an extremely selfish act.
I never liked Robin Williams much anyway, because I thought he was all about Robin Williams and somehow he thought that these “wise liberals” he portrayed were really the expression of himself...which they may have been, but he himself was so shallow that after a while nobody cared. Killing himself simply proves that it was all about him.
BTW, one of the best reviews I ever read was in the WSJ, reviewing some movie Robin Williams had made, and it read “Never go to see anything with Robin Williams with a beard.” Those were his “profound” movies. And then the next sentence was “Never go to see anything with Robin Williams without a beard.”
The only movie he made that I liked was Moscow on Hudson, which was not political and was actually quite funny. I don’t remember whether or not he had a beard in that one...
Williams, like most of Hollywood, was owned by the Democratic Party.
People don’t realize just how their tentacles run in Hollywood, and how much they control who works and who doesn’t.
To get along, you go along. If they tell you that you have to make fun of Sarah Palin, that’s what you do.
