Today, a small plane pilot flew his small plane into an office building in Texas where nearly 200 tax employees work. He did this because he was furious with the IRS. The President and the Police Chiefs have classified this as a criminal act, not an act of terror. The man who flew into the building was 53 year old Joseph Stack. One person who worked in the building was unaccounted for, two were hospitalized, and thirteen were treated at the scene and released. U.S. law investigators were looking into a lengthy anti-government "manifesto" that Slack has been writing on his website. He had comments like,
"If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?' The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time...
"Violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer...
"I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let's try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well."
This is supposed to be his suicide note.

My Opinion: I feel that what he did was horrible. I am glad that most people survived. I think he was partially insane, and he didn't do the legal and necessary things to deal with whatever problem he had. Too bad for him and his family.
