However, I do believe that the topic of discussion for the past few weeks (i.e., whether or not suicide is a forgivable sin) is not of much interest for those of us with enough good taste not to believe in a deity (one might say that our interest in this question has died). Because of this, I suggest a new topic, namely: "HOW TO DO IT" Yes, I think its about time to consider the proper methods and etiquette of suicide. To start the ball rolling, I have always thought that the government could open nuclear tests to all people wishing to commit suicide (I really think it would be a blast). All they would have to do is dig the underground chamber in which the device is placed slightly larger (it would have been easier in the days of above ground testing, but alas, those days are gone. Maybe with Reagan.....). Another idea I had was deep fat frying, but that sounded a bit like a chicken's way out to me. Well, enough ramblings. Put on your thinking caps and see if we can come up with a "how to" guide (or maybe even a new section for Emily Post) about our favorite subject.
