Today's World Suicide Prevention Day. According to the stats, every 18 minutes, someone dies from a suicide. Every 43 seconds, someone attempts one. In memory of Katherine, and others, who are still sore-missed, learn the facts. Learn to talk about it.
I respect everyone's right to choose their path...but nobody should ever feel it's their ONLY choice.

In other news, the fact that there are stupid, willfully misinformed, emotionally stunted and otherwise oblivious people out there should not be a surprise to anyone over the age of 8. Can we please stop pointing at them and howling? They're not going to change, and the howling doesn't get anything fixed.
