>> Seriously. A vote is exactly what I have been dreading ever since plans for an elaborate memorial (ie more than Bob's regular thread of remembrances) were first proposed.
Jane - I'm really tired and weepy because of the mail order med business which is ruining our freaking prescription coverage right now, imho, so I'm not really going to respond. BUT, I never said I felt everyone wanted this. There is a strong support, though, and I stand by my arguments thus far.>> But I don't think it's as clear cut a decision as "some people want this and it won't hurt anybody else".
I didn't say this either.
> Or it's our responsibility to call the cops when we see the burn marks on the kid next door?That's a child - they do need to be protected - they don't have a "voice" - see my other post.
>> I don't think we should dismiss the argument that glorifying suicide could encourage others to do the same thing even if this isn't absolutely proven.
I didn't dismiss it, I just disagree...
>> I do feel an urge to protect them.
That's fine - it'll be up to Dr. B anyway... and he doesn't agree with me by all accounts.
> > Memorials only talk about the good things.
Boy, that's not true in my extended family...
kk, who answered anyway and is tired and needs to get offline, addiction is etting in, as well as numb-butt.
