Texas plane crash pilot: 'I have just had enough'
Source: CNN

In the long message, the writer rails against the government and, particularly, the Internal Revenue Service.

The building into which the airplane crashed is a federal IRS center with 199 employees.

"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," the online message says. "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."

"Nothing changes unless there is a body count," the letter says. "I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at 'Big Brother' while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won't continue; I have just had enough."

2. Oh this won't be called terrorism you know.
This man was white and a right-winger. That means it was simply a suicide... not a terrorist attack. You see... this is a law enforcement matter. This is not what the enemy is supposed to look like so just chalk it up as an isolated incident and move on.

3. Take half of what he wrote
Post it on DU, you are on the front page, take half of what he wrote post it on FreeRepublic and everyone over there is nodding in agreement.

What this guy did was absolutely abhorrent, however that document he wrote before he decided to do something incomprehensible sounds rather rational in the current political climate, which scares the fuck out of me.

5. A country that can't fall from without
Ultimately provides the perfect nesting ground for the worst corruption imaginable.
