Sad isn't it, over 17,000 people who blew their brains out
because
they were depressed and a gun was al too handy.

Sad indeed, it would have been much better if they had used a
knife,
or a rope, or overdosed on drugs, or sucked a car tailpipe, or,
well,
anything but a gun.

Yep, at least with a knife,rope,drug,or exhaust, you have the
opportunity to change you mind and call for help.

You can change your mind while swinging from a rope, but it won't
help
any.

Most people who hang themselves don't die from a broken neck.
Mainly they asprixiate after passing out from reduced blood flow to
the brain....it's only after they pass out that they relax enough to
strangle.

So explain how they can then change their mind, and do something about
it.


Then there are the others who never in fact dangle, but tie a rope
around something, pass a noose over their head and just sit down.

And some tie a rock around their neck and throw into deep water.
Wonder if the change their mind on the way down?


How about bridge jumpers? Bet they change their mind about 1/2 way
down. Too late! Splat!
