This is the first time I have seen this article - thanks to you who posted it.
It is about time this is dealt with forthrightly.
It is worth the time to read the comment - here is one that is especially
instructive. So much for the Marshy Effect:
"Great article. I got curious about the math, so I used the
statistics given in this article and from what I calculated, the
Fairfield suicide rate is MORE THAN TWICE AS HIGH as the state suicide
rate (and as stated in the article, the state suicide rate is already
higher than the national average). The math is laid out below.
>From this article: “Since mid-2008, 20 people have died by suicide in the
>greater Fairfield area…Statewide, suicide rates are on the rise,
going from 11.7 to 14.4 cases per 100,000 people from 2010 to 2013,
surpassing the national average, according to the American Foundation
for Suicide Prevention.”
Fairfield suicide rate: 20 cases / 10,000 people (approximate Fairfield
population) / 6 years (2008-2014) = .0333% per year
state suicide rate: 14.4 cases / 100,000 people / 1 year = .0144% per year
(using the 2013 state suicide rate here–the average suicide rate from
2008 to 2014 would be lower, which means the Fairfield rate is actually
even higher compared to the state rate than shown here)
comparison: Fairfield rate / state rate = .0144% / .0333% = 2.3125
Which would mean that the Fairfield suicide rate is 2.3125 times as high as the
state suicide rate."

M: That was an excellent article. It nails one of the most destructive aspects
of what I call the prison of specialness in the movement. Sidha means
perfection. Ideal society, perfect health, invincibility, immortality, the list
of unwarranted superlatives goes on and on. All in the cause of pretending we
are not what we are, flawed humans with a limited understanding of what is
going on in life, doing the best we can. It is a propensity for "front'n extra
large" that would make the most bombastic rapper blush!
Thanks for posting it.
