I stand corrected. I'm pretty articulate, but I ain't perfect; I could have made that clearer. What I meant to say was that, if an easy, clean, blood n' brainless suicide method was available, that certain powers-that-be might be forced unto the expediency of throwing to the common man a proverbial bone, in the form of a more equitable distribution of wealth, greater job security, universal heathcare, etc., so that they could keep us plebes alive and continue to exploit us. In other words, it'd throw a serious monkey (money?) wrench into the works if us wage slaves started offing ourselves. Who'd stock the shelves at Wal-Mart? Come to think of it, who'd buy all their crap in the first place if all us clock-punchers opted for the big dirt nap? Thanks for your very kind compliment, Tabitha. I don't know anything about Dr. Bob, only that I like the concept of his site(s) and the opportunity it gives people like us to interact. As far as I could tell, "Social Babble" is simply a forum for friendship and sharing of no particular structure. All modesty aside, I know that I offer something special, an exotic flavor in the world of plain vanilla, and that I have never been rude to anyone, or used foul language, and that I am guilty only of constructing sentences that are waaaaay too long, and use far to many commas, for which crime I should be put to death, by the most painful means possible, as a prelude to my soul burning in Hell everlasting. I think that most people probably understood what I was getting at with the comment in question, and for the record, I'm not glorifying suicide. I'm sure Dr. Bob will find no reason to ban me. If he does, I request that he not use any of my posts in his projected book. Without me, it's unlikely anybody'll buy the durn thing, anyway :-)
