I used to be a stupid liberal, but I lived long enough to EVOLVE to a higher way of thinking - It's too bad this person won't have the same chance I did.....I will grieve for this lost individual and for the family that I am sure is horrified at what happened today.

.SAN FRANCISCO, March 19 (Reuters) - A man protesting the looming U.S. war on Iraq fell to his death from San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge on Wednesday as he was hanging a banner, officials said.

"He appears to have been hanging a banner of some kind," said California Highway Patrol officer Timothy Willock. "We're not sure if he decided to jump or slipped while he was, you know, hanging the banner. That's unclear right now."

Anti-war sentiment is strong in the San Francisco Bay Area but the death of the man in his 30s was the first related to the latest protests over the U.S.-led war against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Heh heh heh! What a dumb@$$! Some pot-smoking America-hating hippie moron doesn't even have the mind and coordination to stay on the bridge and he falls into the bay! Moral - Don't smoke pot and don't be a dumb@$$!
