Of course, your impulse is not always the right answer -- often your impulse is just the easy answer (which makes sense that it is often the right answer, too, because it should generally be easy to do what is right for you). Ramble ramble ramble

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.
