Virtual Flaneurism

Chilean born artist Sebastian Errazuriz on the chart he painted outside his Brooklyn studio reflecting that, in 2009, there were two times more suicides of American soldiers than casualties in Iraq.

It is of note, however, that this number may be misleading: Errazuriz's statistics reflect (I believe) all U.S. soldiers who committed suicide, which should include soldiers of all ages and all possible wars Americans have been involved in. So the set of individuals in the first column - all U.S. soldiers and veterans - is a much larger cohort than simply those soldiers who died in combat in Iraq. Feel free to correct this further.

Anybody not on the Dr. Dog wagon needs to hop the caravan before we drown fording the river...yeah, I sort of got lost in the metaphor on that one.
