However, I'm going to restrain myself, because it's a touchy subject, and everyone who's commented so far is feeling so good about themselves. I'd hate to ruin their party.
But any of you who've kept up with my writing can guess what I'd write. Particularly about how I disagree with the author, and believe there really is an end; there's nothing after death. Not for the individual who's dead, anyway. The survivors have to go on, but the dead are beyond caring. Beyond suffering.
Funny, though, I was just thinking of this quote today:
...To die, to sleep;--
To sleep, perchance to dream:--ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause:...
I continued my exercise regimen today, and walked for an hour through the nearby wilderness area. I saw a doe with her fawn, and also some sort of woodpecker or tree creeper. I haven't determined which yet, but I will, since it was all of three feet from me.
I'm astonished by the people I see out there. I don't think they see anything around them. They're so loud, huffing and puffing, that they scare all the wildlife and wouldn't see it even if they were looking.
What's the point? They may as well be inside on a treadmill.

I'm so excited about Eureka starting! I know what you mean about lack of quality tv in the summer. a friend lent us the first and second season of Supernatural, and we blew through the first season and started the second season. It's a pretty good show! good enough to watch during summer, anyway.
never seen Dr. Who! never even heard of it, actually.
Yes, I did read Do Androids.... What a great book! 
One of my faves!!

What came to mind after reading that article was the ideology that suicide is a completely selfish act - which was made point of several times in that piece. However, saying "don't kill yourselves!" falls right along the same lines, eh? Oh, hypocrisy...
Here's something from my physics course I found amusing and ties in:
Yay high fives for woods walks. You know how much I love them! Have you found an appropriate "pokin' stick" yet? I like to keep one along to fend off possible snakes or rednecks that may come my way. And if luck have it, throw a snake on a redneck.
