Summary

This quote suggests a paradoxical view on suicide, arguing that by choosing to end one's life, an individual is performing a brave and commendable act. The implication here is that the decision to self-terminate signifies a deep level of suffering and despair, and thus, it can be seen as an almost deserved release from the hardships of life. However, it is essential to recognize that mental health professionals stress the need for promoting understanding, empathy, and support for individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts rather than endorsing or romanticizing suicide.

Many agricultural counties are far more important in the life of the State than their population bears to the entire population of the State. It is for this reason that I have never been in favor of restricting their representation in our State Senate to a strictly population basis. It is the same reason that the founding fathers of our country gave balanced representation to the States of the Union, equal representation in one House and proportionate representation based upon population in the other.
