> suicide > is a not a failure of the individual > but rather of the system > I've avoided the discussion concerning suicide until now, but this is too much. I'm tired of the new-age philosophy that the individual is never at fault, but the system is. Garbage. We are all in control of our own lives - just ask those smokers who insist that they have a right to smoke (which, in my opinion, is a form of suicide).*Some* people who commit suicide are out of control - but not all. So, to blame a system (albeit, a flawed one) for suicides is like blaming the system for people smoking. Choices are made by individuals - not systems. ----- God bless Mary Ann
