I agree. I'm actually impressed at the reverence most people are showing 
the former president; I didn't think any of those old values were still 
alive in our society.

There was an elderly lady in front of me at the supermarket ranting and 
raving about the cost of the state funeral and its occupation of a great 
deal of television time/money. I wanted to ask if she was planning on 
having her relatives throw her in a hole in the backyard and donating 
the funeral money to charity.
