Suicide is the sincerest form of self-criticism.

If somebody is so stupid as to take a lethal overdose, then let
them Darwinize themselves.


Some OD cases may be the desire for the ultimate trip over the rainbow
bridge but the ones I had to learn about most certainly weren't. It was
kids with lots of potential and with good families. Doesn't exclude
suicide but it's unlikely the majority of them wanted that.

Now I am also not saying criminalization works. It would only work with
enough enforcement and I don't see that happen. When kids say it's
easier to get drugs at school than cigarettes or booze that makes me
sick. Instead of skimming speed tickets police should pay more visits to
schools. Or when you call them respond within 5 minutes and not 25
minutes when everyone has vanished.

You need to move away from the Left Coast.

Each school here has an assigned officer, on-duty AT the school.
