Austin Airplane Crash

Today a man crashed his airplane into the IRS building in Austin TX. I read his suicide note. They put it on CNN. It is so very sad to me that a man would take his life over how the government is run. Our government needs to change; this is true.

One of my favorite quotes is by Edmund Burke :: "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing". Something must be done, and soon. Our government is approaching the point of no return with all their laws and tax codes and codes on top of codes.

But Mr. Airplane man, I don't think setting your house on fire and crashing your plane into an IRS building is the answer. Part of the journey of life is to learn to let go of our need to be in control of everything.

I am learning this slowly; at times my growth is imperceptible; but I am growing none the less.
