"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert A. Heinlein
Kottke posts this summary about some of the controversy surrounding The Bridge, a documentary about suicide jumps from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
There's a link to the preview, which as he warns, contains footage of people climbing over the rail to jump. It's difficult to watch.
I haven't seen the film. I'm not sure I want to.
