STOP THE SADNESS
After a particularly touching online slideshow offered by local NBC affiliate WNBC, local representatives admitted that outlawing suicide was no longer a sufficient response to a problem that has existed since the dawn of time and will probably continue until the end of time--without NY legislators' help. The recent death of a moderately famous person, which while only mildly tragic to the public at large, was a deep cause of sorrow to those who knew him and to his family members. Robbed of an opportunity to gain greater fame before dying of a drug overdose, plain crash, homicide, or a disease that might bear his name and those of fundraising events, this was obviously a great loss to not just the individual and those other people, but the entire cable news community.
In response to this incredibly tragic event, lawmakers are currently working on legislation on what is considered to be the root cause of tragedy: celebrity. Certain legislative exemptions for celebrity will of course be included, such as being a legislator. We can only hope that this ends happily for everyone.
