My initial reaction was to blast you. I want to call you ignorant (among other things), but it would be presumptuous of me to say that. Maybe it's just that you really don't understand what it feels like to think that you have no hope. That you have no one that you can turn to. That you don't matter.

Williams' death is tragic, at least to me. I don't have a particular emotional attachment to him, but I do know that a tremendously talented, beautiful life was cut short. It hurts to think that he found himself in a place where he felt he had no other option. Believe me, being selfish was the last thing on his mind.

Can't disagree with that.

His life was cut short because he cut it short. Nuff said.

Fripples,

So were the lives of many people, including some who played in the Major Leagues. Should we mourn their passing or lambast them after they're gone?

Best regards,

Eric

Eric, I think maybe Fripples is more concerned about the Yazidis than Robin Williams.
