[ExI] libertarians

[William Flynn Wallace]

Breathing pure nitrogen is deadly but the person will not experience any
loss.  The lack of oxygen does not trigger any response and that's a
killer.

This is legal I think in some states.  MIssissippi considered it and
rejected it.  I do not know why.  I suspect that they wanted the person to
suffer.  There are lots of those around. Those killed by lack of oxygen do
not suffer.  Like going to sleep, only it's the Big Sleep.

If I committed suicide that's the way I'd do it.  No mess. (Hemingway used
a double barreled shotgun.  His daughter found him.  I cannot imagine
the horror.)

I will not stand extreme and intractable pain.  What am I proving to
anybody to stay alive?   bill w
