Abu, you are right. But as to the cemetary issue, why is it always about 'what's the the harm if...' If we would only acquisece to what seems an innocent request? What about protocol, tradition and history? There is no doubt that buried in that ground are men who would vehemently object to what they would construe as a desecration of hallowed ground. What about that harm and the harm to the living who object. How about this; what's the harm if they go and get buried in one of the thousands of cemetarys that have no objection to such an arrangement. How about I get buried next to my '69 GTO that I love, whats the harm in that? That is why it is always wise in questions of decorum to revert to the ingrained if not clearly stated traditions currently in existence. That way everyone knows what is in store for them or as so many like to say, a level playing field.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
