I didn't realize that people in remission from cancer experienced severe depression until it happened to a friend. You always hear the positive spin about how near-death gives people a new lease on life. Ha. My friend was angry and depressed about the permanent changes to his body and the financial effects of not being able to work for so long. He had to be given Prozac after his recovery from the cancer. I really believe if he had not been able to save his home through bankruptcy, he would have committed suicide, or tried to, in order to protect his family.
It is really scary. Already you feel like a burden when you are sick. And now this?
The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists and other subversives. We intend to clean them out, even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country. --John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
