There seems to be a sense of judgment in your post, as if you are shaking your 
finger at anyone who might be insensitive enough to poke fun at the latest 
human folly attributed to the date: May 21, 2011.

Nevertheless, the actions of the mother and the man who did manage to 
successfully kill himself are indeed tragic. What is even more tragic is the 
fact that such folly will happen again. I can guarantee that.

Sometimes, all that remaining survivors have left in their psychological 
arsenals to counter personal tragedies of this nature is to occasionally share 
an irreverent sense of humor amongst each other. It is after all the survivors 
who end up having to clean up the messes left by those who "chose poorly." It 
is not a bad thing to occasionally find a way to lighten the load between the 
tears.

I sure hope I still have some humor left in me. Otherwise...
