Everybody Hurts

[drscott]

sfbear79 posted this link to short bios of some Golden Gate suicides. I was sobbing after getting through about two of them. So sad, especially if you can remember having an urge in that direction.

Which prompted me to dig up the old R.E.M. video of "Everybody Hurts." [warning: the video starts with an inappropriate advert]

This cross-posting was taken from the on-going seven-part front-page series the San Francisco Chronicle is running, purportedly to bring attention to the issues of suicide and the Golden Gate Bridge as #1 suicide bridge world-wide; it seems to have a strong suggestive side, to promote the argument in support of erecting suicide barriers on the GGB.

I assumed as much. I don't support the idea of erecting suicide barriers, but the stories are still deeply affecting.
