No, there is diversity on the radio. You can find almost anything you are
looking for. When people get tired of those same 60-70 songs over and over,
they request something different, or they change to another station that
plays something different. In most American urban areas you can get a wide
range of different music: everything you said about "college radio" exists
in the regular spectrum of commercial companies as well as the public ones.
Many urban areas even have competing public stations. In St. Louis we
have a public and a private classical station. We have two public
stations: one that provides trashy second-rate shows put on by amateurs and
loosers of every possible faction. If there's a person who knows how to
fail at getting along in St. Louis, they probably have a radio show on
KDHX, the "community" station, where "community" means people who hate
commercial activity or productive activity of any kind that could be
pleasing to the ear. Needless to say, NPR is on the other public radio
station, the one that airs jazz, raggae, worldbeat, new age, and saringa
music.

On the killing themselves... I mean informed choice, through cigarettes.


I would also argue there there are better ways to LIVE, and would never
urge  anyone to kill themselves in any way that takes less than 20 years to
accomplish.  Living an unhealthy life is a person's choice.  If they want
to eat at McDonalds, Wendy's or any other peddler of toxic food, let them.
If they want to indulge in Budweiser, Absolut and let them...


If they are feeling bad about how they're getting on in life, then there
are very easy methods of overcoming most depression-cycles that many people
go through.  And feeling suicidal is not the same as eating at Burger King.
To equate two is faultly logic, and as a person who claims to think
"critically" you know this.
