art:
actually, i did not intend to make a counter argument, i dont think--i was more expressing a kind of deep ambivalence about suicide as a topic for discussion in general, and through that a more focussed ambivalence about the social darwinist business.
i dunno--it seems that it is possible for people to get knocked off the matrix, if you like, based on conjunctural matters--a particularly crappy turn of events--without that entailing judgements as to the whole of that person. it does not seem to me that there is any way to know or predict this. whence the ambivalence about the matter as one that can be discussed in general terms.
