Get the bulldozers at the base of the hill and rev them up to bury the capitol building while the legislature is in session. That would be a great start. It would be a wonderful start if Hochul was giving her state of the state address.

I like this idea...

I want to be composted and fed to marijuana plants.

Then, I want to be smoked by a room full of crazy sorority girls!

If the body is akin to a banana peel, why not compost it? Compost really isn’t different than burying without a box. Kind of what humans have been doing for most of our existence.

That was my first thought. Soylent Green, When you disrespect the gift of Life from God himself, you insult God himself.

Tried watching the newer 2019-2020 Episodes but they didn’t have the interest that the original Rod Serling series has. They tried to make it look similar being in black and white but heard the word “bitch” a few times and other modern references and I just turned it off.

One of my favorite episodes. Along with Captain Kirk and the monster on the wing.

They are dead. Not human life.

Yep, after death, just a 'clump of cells'.

Slippery slopes.....

Yeah, that’sa definite favorite. Saw another episode with Shatner on yesterday. Him and his gf were in this small diner and there was a table top fortune telling machine with a satanic bobble head on it. He kept feeding it pennies and in a short time became obsessed with it.

1. I didn’t know Oregon did that, too.

2. I thought it was a federal law which mandated either cremation or sealed plots to prevent contamination & disease from decomposing human bodies.

But I was wrong. This is a good analysis (from 2014; who knows what’s changed)

My concern is that they are so rotten to the core that it will contaminate and destroy the soil.

Incineration has been the safe route for body disposal for a long time. It sterilizes any pathogens remaining in the corpse. Composting implies free access to the corpse by water, bacteria and insects with the potential to contaminate a water supply.

Modern cremation uses lots of natural gas. An alternative approach involves dissolving the body in a hot lye solution. What remains is a fine calcium sludge from the bones. The remainder is in solution. The unsavory part is how the "solution" is disposed. Likely down a sanitary sewer system.

“Slippery slopes.....”

What slippery slope? Why is this worse than letting worms eat the dead thus recycling the nutrients?

*Sarcasm* My apple has a face on it. Should I be eating this?

*But really* If fruit grown in Pacific NW absorbs sludge from human feces and the liquidated dead, well it's not direct cannibalism but it sure seems like they're pushing us one step closer eating sh** and each other.

Just another boundary removed to get us devalue our fellow man. Before you said you would never. Now you say I'm okay with this. Tomorrow...

Here is what they have not resolved cuz they are too stupid to do this and too busy virtue signaling:

Metals

The human body is full of metals, which cannot be composted the way they think. They are elemental and they stay, in all forms.

There is a product called Milorganite, made in Milwaukee and it cannot be used on food crops. It’s made from human waste. It can’t be used b/c the metals from it are UNSAFE for the food supply as a fertilizer.

Imagine how many metals are in the human system that never get processed into waste, yet we are composting the whole human body!

These people are stupid.

Bones and teeth don’t compost. On my hunting property, I routinely find animal bones that are many years old

On my last attempt to ride up into high elevations on my 2009 DR650, I dropped the bike twice in a 30 minute period. The 2nd drop was at 6000 ft. Loose shale. I landed on my left side. Feet uphill, head downhill. Bike pinning my left leg. Engine running. Fuel dribbling out the top of the gas tank. Temperature 95F. No cell coverage. The kill switch stopped the engine. My injured right leg was free, so I pulled it up and planted my right foot on the seat. A good push and my left leg was clear. I pivoted the bike to point the tires downhill and raised it enough to allow rolling a a clear, grassy spot. On the way, I noticed a bush full of bleached bones left in a bush. Likely prey from the native predators. The bike was in first gear when I dropped it. Now, the shift lever was bent down and pushed under the engine case. I would have to ride out that way up some difficult slopes. I found my way back to a mini-mart. First order of business was a quart of Gatorade. I was able to bend the shift lever back to a usable position.
