Exactly. There are able bodied men and women that are able to dig a hole or start a fire. It is awful to even imagine, and I would guess than many survivors are in shock, but sometimes you simply have to do whatever is necessary to get by. I know that if I were not severely injured that I would bury a body or start a fire before I would sit under a piece of cloth in the park next to rotting corpses.
Why can't these poor people learn to do for themselves? There is a constant presence of aid workers and missionaries on the island ... why don't they help these people do for themselves instead of biting their lip and feeling their pain? They are not doing these people any good in the long run unless they are showing them how to turn their third world craphole into a tourist destination with places to work and make life better.
My God they live on an ISLAND> Why would they not bury at sea??
