Hello,
Jayson R. Jones here. I come to Helium from a highly improbable background, and plan to make a name for myself here. At 60, I come to writing late in life, but I came armed to the teeth with real world experience, and a significant investment in education.

From a dairy farm in far upstate New York, to San Francisco in the mid 60's, I was shaped by polarizing influences early in life. It did not get any less "standard" or "typical" as time went on. From being a Commercial Diver through USAF Management, to running U/W Archeology Projects, I have taken a series of abrupt left turns career-wise. Now, I'm two thirds of the way through my life and it's time for something new. My Career Path has left me with only one option, write.....using what I have learned in schools and life as a base.

Over the next 30 years I hope you enjoy what I write, appreciate a decidedly different viewpoint, and maybe have a few chuckles along the way.

My passion is ...

Photography, Archaeology, Motorcycles, Life

I know too much about ...

One never knows too much!

My parents always told me ...

to eat my veggies and sit up straight.

My childhood ambition ...

Leave the farm.

My favorite memory ...

Hard to pick just one.....maybe hitch-hiking to California in 1964.

Why I write ...

I feel I should put all I've seen and learned to good use.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm pretty eclectic...I don't watch tv.

My first job ...

after the farm my first job was selling tokens at North Beach Amusement Park, San Francisco, California.

My best moment ...

hopefully is yet to come.

My inspiration ...

V. Gordon Childe, George Foreman, the author of Harry Potter, Mic Fleetwood.

Health & Fitness > Mental Health (Other) Is suicide a personal right?

16 of 60

Suicide is one of the most fundamental of human rights. I lived in Oregon during the years it took to get a Death with Dignity bill passed. I appreciate the feelings of those who oppose it on Religious grounds. You have the right to your opinion and to live according to your Religious principles. Please afford others the same right. The Religious argument in this debate is informative, but, as it is with other debates over individual rights, it is not in any way part of the issue being debated. Because we have a right' to something does not mean that everyone has to exercise that righ...
