You can't live without protection
You know the interesting thing about being a funeral director is that everyone assumes that your job is about dealing with the dead and miserable. They assume that everyone you deal with is in a very sad state of mind. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Certainly there are a portion of the families that I serve whome come in in despair and grief, but that is not the norm. Most people have time to accept the fact that someone will die.
In today's society we have pills, and surgeries and laws that protect our weak and fragile bodies. From helmet laws to the newest treatments in chemotherapy few people every die quickly or tradjically. Especially in the US where 8 out of every 10 laws seem to be to protect us from death or injury whether it be California's helmet law or seatbelt laws that have now been adopted nationally.
More and more restrictions are being placed on people to 'protect' us from premature death, extended medical stays, injuries, or even discomfort. Of course this is all at the blame of the attorney's (evil beasts see previous blog), and their ever growing hunger to sue companies who cause even the remotest amount of discomfort throught the mass distribution of a product or service, regardless of the opposing benefits.
We can't even get drugs approved in America until long after Europe and Canada because of our ever increasingly difficult FDA process. Many car companies are excluded from the US market because they are required to crash test an Obscene number of cars each year just to offer a car in the US. And if they do get the opportunity to get through the process the car will cost double or triple what it could have been purchased for in Europe.
OOPS out of control again, enough rant for one day.....
