“This mortal house I’ll ruin.” – Antony and Cleopatra

Apparently somebody walked into Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris yesterday, strolled up to the main altar, and then pulled out a shotgun and blasted himself in the mouth.  If you’re going to commit suicide I have a lot of sympathy for you, you must be in a pretty low place, but why do it in front of 1,500 tourists (including children) on their family vacations?  That ruins not just your own mortal shell, but the image of Notre-Dame as a sanctuary as well.
