Monday, November 17, 2008

Between 1999 and 2005, the number of suicides among white middle-aged Americans increased 17 percent. What do you think?

Carl Craig,

"But they have so many nice, if slightly boring, things to live for."

Ursula Zalben,
Mail Carrier
"Suicide when you're middle-aged is the coward's way out. Better to wait until you're over 70. Or, if you're still young, late teens is a good time, too."

Ken Newbrogh,
Bartender
"Luckily for me, when I'm depressed I masturbate."
