they're still not saying if this was murder

or a possible suicide. in an ap article (i try NOT to link to ap although sometimes one cannot help it) an anonymous source was indeed calling this a homicide.

(and by the way, 'goobers' is NOT my word, nor is it a word i would use to describe a whole group of people who live in one place. oh i'd use the word all right, but only to describe SOME people not all)

Angry Goobers: Census Worker Bill Sparkman Found Hanged in Clay County, Kentucky

By Pete Kotz
This has all the makings of some anti-government goober taking his half-wit beliefs way too far. On September 12, the body of 51-year-old Bill Sparkman was found hanged in the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural Kentucky. The word "fed" was written on his chest.

Given his background, it's doubtful Sparkman was targeted over a personal beef. He was a substitute teacher, director of the Boy Scouts in London, Kentucky, a standup dad who did Census work on the side. Sparkman was even profiled in a story on how involved he was in his son's education, despite suffering from lymphoma.

Though scant details have been released, what we know is that Sparkman was doing Census work in Clay County, Kentucky when he disappeared. It's an area not known for having a pleasant views of the federal government. And from the info we have now, it appears that Sparkman was murdered simply because he was a part-time federal worker.........
