[net.suicide] three is magic

	AARGH! mincemeat rampant peruses oldnews!
	(despite some appearances and lots of insinuations,
	mostly from the chuckf, I do NOT spend my whole day
	readnewsing, and missed the creation of mod.ber
	entirely)
	Said chuck besmirches my alabaster reputation with
	guilefully stolen personal tidbits gleaned from our
	illicit personal life; cold, chaz, cold...

	(Incidentally, I ALWAYS raise the lid, ALWAYS!)

	I am also emphatically not attempting to gain control of
	anything, except maybe myself, and that looks like a
	multi-year project...  However, I do miss the halcyon
	days of rabbit!bimmler and the vicious attacks slashing
	across my video; I certainly have enough strong opinions
	on the subject of suicide and self-determination to
	raise some roockus, as my dear ole pappy would so
	quaintly put it, in his backwoods drawl...

	I am also peeved enough at uqui the numb's vile
	personal attack on my innocent monday morning to
	make some good submissions to net.letter.bomb...
	I am coming to the opinion that most of the netpeople
	are fucking bugeyed looney.... yow!

	Anyway, here's an opinion for you f.b.l.'s out there,
	or rather a conceptual flow:

	Self-determination is the primest of human 'rights':

	Self-determined actions, in that they affect only one's
	self or the opinions of others, need have no rational
	basis, no intrinsic merit, and no sense or explanation.

	Suicide is by definition a self-determined act

	Subject then to the qualifications above, there is no
	reasonable objection that can be raised to anybody
	who damn well feels like it offing the self for whatever
	silly-ass, meaningless, stupid reasons that seem
	appropriate. It doesn't have to make any sense. It's
	a personal choice.

	As a personal choice, it's none of yer business, boys & girls.
