Jodi, Having read that "last words manifesto" in full and taken some time to digest it in light of today's events in Austin, you've got the ramblings of a broken man, whose narcissistic sense of self-importance clearly led to his downfall and the death of two innocents. Prime examples of narcissism from his post: the tax code was amended to get HIM, 9/11 was a personal inconvenience to HIM, misuse of HIS tax money, and so on. What struck me most was his likening himself to the apocryphal Wall Street stockbrokers who leapt from their windows in the wake the 1929 crash. A single man stepping out of a window to his demise does not seek to take anybody with him as he goes to meet this maker. A man crashing his airplane into a building almost certainly does. Frankly, Jodi, I don't know how you make Joe Stack the poster child of the Tea Party Movement any more than I could suggest Biology Professor Amy Bishop is representative of all Obama supporters. Indeed, the pair has much more in common with each other: two well-educated individuals, both with an overly-developed sense of self-importance, whose misdirected anger and rage at their own failures brought direct harm to innocent victims whom they felt were part of the forces conspiring against them.
