I don't understand Fox News. I can't believe someone would say that on tv, regardless of personal opinion. It is beyond cruel. With people like that, I always think, "It's all fun and games until it happens to you."

I was in grade school when Mork and Mindy first aired and feel like I grew up with him. It was his extraordinary humanity and kindness that makes his death so painful. I know that kind of desperation and it's a miracle I'm even alive. I cry at every suicide no matter who it is. When I interned in a state hospital, I had to quit because the things I saw people go through was so awful and familiar that I couldn't disconnect from it enough to help anyone. As my bro says, The mind is a terrible thing (He also suffers from mental illness)

I've been watching the documentary, "The Bridge" about the suicides on Golden Gate Bridge. It's completely heartbreaking and I can only watch it in little segments. It's an important film though, and I believe these people deserve to have their story heard. I don't care if they are homeless, or whatever, it's still horrible. What really blew me away, was to see and hear of the strangers who saw these suicidal people and either intervened or immediately notified the guards, mostly in tears. It's nice to know that people can still be good and kind even if it's someone they don't know.

Polibeth- I did the same thing with my shrink today!

Lilypup - that's awesome that your going to speak there. I must check out your blog. Is it on this site or is it separate? Pardon my ignorance about blogging - I'm an old lady and tech confuses me
