An oldie but a goodie
This article by Art Kleiner touches on various aspects of suicide in America - crisis centers, how people choose to make their attempts, what happens when they don't succeed. Originally publiched in 1981 in CoEvolution Quarterly.
I found it via MetaFilter - a community of thinkers and overthinkers like you and me. Posts run from the political to the poetic to the eclectic and strange. The MF commentary on the Kleiner article, however, was especially haunting.

Coleman's, one of the Top Ten Irish pubs in America (unsubstantiated) locate right here in Syracuse started brewing their green Irish beer at 7 AM. Maybe if I were 100% and not just 50% Irish, that would sound appetizing. Happy St. Pat's, all.

It's interesting to find out that two of the most dangerous drugs to OD on (as far as afteraffects) are Tylenol and aspirin.
I read on Slate yesterday about how a company in Ireland sells the Irish-pub-in-a-box concept in America.
Of course, we know most of the Irish pubs in the U.S. are not authentic, but we go for it anyway!

Junebee: I thought so too, in re: the aspirin. The more common items being among the most troublesome. I haven't forgotten to respond to your recent comment about potential advice regarding suicide - just strapped for time is all. :o) Stay tuned.
