Burial Grounds Are For The Living... 'James "Kimo" Rosen

Building these days takes numerous permits to comply
with all the regulations. It's amazing anything gets built these days.


It would seem every road we drive probably has some human remains  buried underneath it. Why are so many worried about walkers and bicyclists  using  the multi-use  trail in Wailua  while nobody seems worried about the thousands of cars driving over the same route daily? 

Nobody seems worried about the many buried at sea and millions of human ashes scattered in our oceans. Let's face it, the longer this world exists the more bodies will be buried and cremated. Should we also cease all ocean activity because so many of our ancestor's remains  are scattered in Oceans around the world?

Burial grounds are for the living, not the dead.  Most religions and philosophies believe you go on to a better place and  your afterlife is nowhere near where you are buried or your ashes scattered.

I do understand the opposition, but just feel the world is a burial ground. If this argument wins with all of societies building regulations and environmental codes it seems near impossible for anything to get done these days and into the future. 

Just imagine if we had to build an airport or highway these days, it would never happen.
