Some of This Crap is Unbelievable

Once upon a time, we buried the dead six feet under ground. The reasons were plain and simple; the dead body decomposed and would emit a stench, and potentially posed a health hazard for the living thus, needed to be deposited deep enough under ground that animals would unlikely retrieve. Funeral directors today will tell you that the deceased body is infused with so much chemicals, sealed in a casket and entombed in a vault rendering very little cause for the aforementioned concerns.

Most societies have laws and ordinances governing the allowances caring for their dead. These rules and regulations no doubt are driven by the openness of that society and its prevailing religious influences. Only in America's 'freedom of speech' society do we see a Topeka, Kansas church (Westboro Baptist) openly demonstrate against gays, picket military funerals and do so in the 'name' of their God. In addition, we now observe our very divided (not so United) States become the fertile ground for debating the burying of the dead Boston Marathon bomber. Once the word 'got-out' that several funeral homes refused burial service for the Muslim Terrorist, we observe the 'ready' bickering between conservatives and liberals; Republicans and Democrats. Always, we Americans appear quick to embrace dissension for the sake of venting angry political viewpoints while ignoring common sense and suggesting that we have a broken moral compass.

Friends, there is no points to be made surrounding this tragedy. There is never any sense to be made regarding any murdering maniac. Close your eyes at this juncture and allow the names of the most vicious, sick minds of our times who have done evil deeds to appear. Some of those individuals are incarcerated, some were executed and those rendered dead are buried or cremated.

Can we all accept the fact that in death, we are all truly equal. The wealth/goods we amassed belong to others. The power/influence we had is impotent. Our love ones will mourn and miss as they perhaps embrace their religious beliefs regarding our eternity. Sound and prudent judgment is based on the simple perception of the situation or facts and the fact IS we have a dead-body; we need to dispose of it and the logical thing is to bury it or follow any know religious belief of internment. This is called 'doing the right thing' as we Americans so freely pontificate as a profound moral anchor in our Judea-Christian principles.

Please!
