yeah -- there was a lot about Mr. Ritscher's letter that wasn't entirely coherent -- to be expected, if one's upset enough to commit ritual suicide for a cause.
I was chiefly impacted by the force of his feeling -- the fact that he went through with it -- and the part that I didn't comment on -- that his actions made it to the news as a suicide and traffic anomaly -- but not as an anti-war protest. (the indie press reported on that part.)
I am troubled by his statement that "Everyone who pays taxes has blood on their hands."
