As someone who lost her husband 6 years ago when he was 42, and the mother of 4 children who lost their father, I disagree with your contention that public "memorializing" is an irresistable impulse following the death of a loved one.

I disagree with your contention that public "memorializing" is an irresistable impulse following the death of a loved one.

Take another look at what I wrote. Nowhere did I "contend" that PUBLIC memorializing is an irresistable impulse. However, the very human grief response of memorializing the dead in some way is several tens of thousands of years old. It takes many, many forms and is most often very private. However, legislation as one form of such memorializing is not uncommon.

If you're going to personally attack someone, at least do so on the basis of accuracy.
