[QUOTE="Bill DeSena, post: 244972, member: 197639"] Hi all, I've been away from the board for awhile and seem to have returned to another intriguing discourse on human behavior towards grief and mourning. I am old enough to remember when death was treated with dignity by mourners. In the '50's and '60's when many veterans of WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam were around public funerals and memeorials were conducted with reserve and sober dignity. I remember attending many memorials as a child and young man. Usually just a simple flag drapped coffin and wreaths of flowers supplied the tangible elements of emotions. Not so today,...it seems that as a people we have more need to leave the daily trash behind with the dead. Perhaps its just an expression of our materialism that mourning must be filled with the same junk and cheap glitz that fills our daily lives. Then again maybe its something far deeper in our collective human experience. Hi Randy, didn't know you was such a kid! Regards Bill [/QUOTE]
