Personally, I’m sick of people turning every street corner where a relative was killed into some sort of miniature cemetery by leaving behind flowers, teddy bears, etc. This country has become a nation of wallowers in grief

I believe this practice was imported from Latin America.

You see this all over the highways and it is very distracting. People are driving 65+ mph and then slow down to look over at these white crosses, flowers, etc. I think it should be illegal.

That is true. Actually, it has it’s roots in the whole “shrine” thing, candles and praying there. Not a good development.
