>An added note..I definitely believe that people have unendurable lives and I understand that as much as I can. One of my friends killed himself over a $10,000 debt. I spent years wondering why he didn't come to us about it. I finally gave it up because values obviously played a huge part in it. I don't believe that he would have killed himself, had he not had that debt. I had a very good sense of him.
