There is a small cemetery in a little Texas town which holds all of the physical remains of my family, both my parents, brother and sister. There is an older part of the cemetery where my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins (I never met some of them)are buried. Every time we go to Texas to see relatives, we stop at that little cemetery in the little town. We buy bunches of artificial flowers and take along tools to clean the stones. That isn't the only time I think of my family, but for those couple of hours, I am filled with memories. I do this for myself, not those dead bodies. The last time we went, I took a copy of a poem I had written for my little sister and put it in the vase. I have opted to be cremated. I know my family doesn't completely understand why this ritual is so important to me. I believe we all have to mourn in our on way and I would never try to compel others to do what I do. These despicable people left the families without the comfort I've found. Graves are not ghoulish. They are peaceful places with trees and flowers unless they are desecrated and they hold the remains of those who lived and were loved by someone. foxx, it’s hard to explain.

It would explode if the grave was disturbed. It went through some history about how it was common to try and get fresh corpses for medical study from the graveyard. Apparently, there weren't enough bodies coming from the legal venues. Needless to say, I thought of the device with this recent story. It is shameful and gruesome to treat people this way. And what is up with Chicago? Sorry to anyone who lives there. I know our Chicago residents have been wonderful in sharing the quirks in their neck of woods throughout the primary and beyond.

I'm in total agreement with this statement: <blockquote>There's honor among the members of our only native criminal class, similar to the honor among robbers, burglars and other servants of the night. The difference, and it's only a slight one, is that robbers, burglars and thieves often hold themselves to higher standards than members of Congress. </blockquote> Great article thank you for sharing it.

It is beyond ghoulish, it is inhumane and beyond all human decency. Robbing graves is about as low as any human being can get. The perverts that stoop to that level can't even be considered to be human. One of the National News Networks reported “there are 100,000″ graves in the old cemetery and 300 have been dug up”.
