Efficient Funeral Home Upsets Elderly
A group of seniors in Idaho are outraged with a recent proposal that would allow a funeral home to be opened across the street from their senior center. I am compelled to point out that organizing in protest against the home goes against the grain of conventional logic. We have bathrooms in restaurants, ATMs in casinos, and steam vents next to the homeless, so naturally we should have a funeral home near a senior center. It just makes sense. And I'm not the only one who feels that way; 81-year-old Doy Seng said (and I'm not making this one up) "We're old here. We're all ready to go," she said. "I think it will be handy."
