On Reading List: Pepsi Drops Out of School, Lead in Spices & Sanitation Report Cards, Julie said:

The woman shooting for 1,000 pounds is choosing an expensive form of suicide that we're probably paying the tab on. Really, it's not that different from a mom deciding to smoke four packs a day. We all know how it's going to end.

I hate the idea of taxpayers paying her to kill herself.
