============================
Hello Kees,

 WD>> It's been close to 12 years already that Ron Dwight passed away. WD>It'll
 KvE> be 17 years soon that Louis Van Geel kicked the bucket, who WD>in my own
 KvE> region remembers him? Doug Meyers 14 years, Bob Satti ...

 WD>> There's a list that causes uneasiness...

KVE>These are only the Fidonet members that were in the spotlight,
KVE>the list is much longer.

Everybody dies, as death is part of life.  Without death, a life
can never be complete.  Why the thought of death should cause anybody
uneasiness is beyond me.  It is simply a matter of fact that we are
all going to die.  Some of us sooner rather than later.

KVE>I can add another factor to that uneasiness, I am, or about to
KVE>be older than my father, when he passed away.

Anything that has a beginning has an end.  Some things last longer
than other things, but all things that have a beginning have an end.
It does not matter if it is an animate or inanimate object.  "Living"
things feast on "dead" things in order to survive.  When a creature
dies in the forest, the body of the creature decomposes and becomes
food for bugs and other critters, as well as fertilizing the soil.

My point is this.  We should quit embalming dead people.  We should
quit cremating dead people.  We should put dead people to good use by
allowing their remains to return to a natural state by letting the
corpses rot in the forest.  Or at least burying them in a shallow
grave without any embalming fluid or other chemicals present.

KVE>Can we change the subject, how is the weather in Mortsel?

When I'm dead and done, you (or anybody else who wants to) can
throw my carcass to the buzzards.  The thought of getting eaten
by buzzards or critters does not bother me, as I would already
be dead when they dine on me.

Why any sane person would go through the time and expense of
buying a burial plot, stone with engraved name, etc., is beyond
me.  What benefit would I get by any of that?  I won't be there
to enjoy it, so why should I pay for it?

What happens when a homeless person dies?  The homeless person
is cremated, his/her ashes strewn in the air at a local cemetery,
his/her nearest relatives given the bill for costs.  Somebody is
going to make a profit on the homeless, with the full blessing
of government.  The homeless have no say.  The relatives of the
homeless have no say.  What a joke.  People do not even have
the freedom to die.

My way is much cheaper, and also environmentally friendly.  All
that is needed is an open field, or a state/national forest.  This
method is also a great way to put millions of people back to work.
No experience necessary, free on site training available for slow
learners.  Clothespin recommended, along with rubber gloves.  But
other than that ...
