How can poor people of Detroit afford to bury their family members?.Have you priced illegal drugs, booze, big screen TV’s, and satellite TV programing lately?

[vetvetdoug]

Ahh, the superiority and efficiency of a diverse caring and law abiding population.

They may be dead and unburied, but the good news is in Detroit they'll still get to vote!

in white body bags with number tags tied to each toe

They've been put on layaway -- of course it'll take years for other Detroiters to claim 'em.

“Some have lain here for years...”

Wait....what do they mean? I hope they mean ‘there have always been unclaimed bodies’ not that the some of the bodies there now have been there for years.

This is either very bad writing or even worse public policy.

When will people read the Book of Mormon no disrespect but as a convert I have read about this day and more is to come.

I don’t care what faith you are practice it and read the Book of Mormon it will prepare all who drink from it.

You don’t have to be LDS benefit from it!

I think this is beginning to happen everywhere. One of my cousin’s is married to a mortician and they said that the morgue here is starting to fill up because people can’t afford to care for their own and the county only care for so many a month.

My biggest fear right now is the "Death Panel" appointed by Barack Hussein Obama's "Death Czar".

It is this attitude of Obama that makes one wonder if when he did go see his grandmother the one who nurtured and raised him if euthanasia was not applied.

It is a Geo Soros fascination.

After that grandma lips were sealed!

"It is this attitude of Obama that makes one wonder if when he did go see his grandmother the one who nurtured and raised him if euthanasia was not applied."

Barack Hussein Obama at a so called town meeting after Sarah Palin's statement about Death Panels, "Some say that I would pull the plug on grandma. I say, 'whats your solution?' ".
