Suicide Rate Ranking


According to this new summary, countries born out of Soviet Union occupy 6 out of top 10 countries in the world, in suicide ratio.
Countries like USA must be very happy to lose enomies like Soviet Union, and be able to claim the victory of democracy over socialism. But nobody cares who the resulted "democratic" byproducts do. It is none of their business and concern. And democracy should be the cure of everything, including Iraq.
It reminds me of the article in no. 28 of Newsweek, on World Heritages certifided by UNESCO. Many people worked hard to get their beloved towns, environments registered. But the success only means a new fat cake for tourism developers. The interitages should be conserved for their recognized values. But on the contrary, the rush of tourists, construction of all kinds of facilities all add up disastrous effects to them.
We should spend more time, efforts and money for improving the quality of life, not for any ism, nor for making money out of other's pocket.
