Existential angst? I've walked thru the rooms of my house saying literally "I choose life" in order to fend off the terrifying idea of suicide. Having life course thru one's body on its own rampage is similar to some constant violation. No surcease from its rampaging bump and no relief from the mind's constant effort to make it stop!

Thinking is painful, don't ask me how I know.

Tim's so right: It's the fuckers (and there are so damn many) who need to die - not the compassionate, intelligent, true heroes. What a loss, indeed!

Show respect when you correct a grammar mistake. The world thrives when people show mutual respect and that's why the world is not thriving now.

Mike-bye the way 'didn't hung' ummm bad grammar and extremely disrespectful unlike David Foster Wallace. It's the ugly American (like you) that DFW writes about.

Why couldn't we have heard that George Bush, Dick Cheney and other evil men like them, suddenly aware of their attrocious deeds, committed mass suicide, rather than a good human being and a great talent like David Foster Wallace? Suicide is not new but I try to grasp the idea of what our society values in human affairs and conclude that we are living in surreal military-idustrial-political times. The scum of the earth can amass riches and power without caring about the outcome of their actions and yet, for thinkers, it's the pain of their consciousness that often causes them to log out of this world for its seeming lack of meaning.
