I'm sorry, but since cause of death has not been stated, this leaves the reader to the conclusion that he committed suicide...even though I have to admit that due to the treasonous actions of some who have destroyed our once great country has brought the thought of "checking-out" a few times myself.

I have purposely not addressed the cause of death because frankly I'm not positive that it WAS suicide. I, too suspect that to be the case, but really feel it's rather irrelevant.

I hope you aren't serious. But in case you are, I say this.

"Checking out" would just mean less of us, and more of them. Instead of going permanently silent, speak out, continue to be heard, no matter what.

Even though I am slightly abrasive on occasion, and I feel compelled to express my position in sometimes graphic negativity to get a point across, I still feel that most of the people in this country are still our brothers and sisters.

Don't feel alone, you have no more anger than many of us here.

Read through a few of my posts. You'll see my contempt for those that are attempting to destroy this country is deep and genuine.

Remember, we live on a beautiful, unique planet. Enjoy it while you can. Get away from politics once in a while if need be. Do something else to take a breather. And never forget, there are always those that are much worse off, and would give anything to be in this country and in our shoes.
