        I tried something a little different today. Instead of reading my book, I decided to take a break and read some articles. The first article was about the couple that jumped off the Tappan Zee Bridge. A 29 year old, Alfa Choice, made the wrong choice and died. 44 year old Christopher Shears survived the fall. He is in critical condition in a nearby hospital. Some of the comments on the article shocked me. Dennis305  says, "The Thruway Authorities inadequate measures to prevent such terrible tragedy's need to be addressed. The fact is, robust barriers can be built that would prevent what happened yesterday." I strongly disagree. It was the persons choice to die, and they would have found other means to kill themselves if barriers were put up.
