Cinno,
First of all, I will repeat my wish of sympathy to the family. I do understand that this was an impossible situation, and the publicity from WHP didn't help.
You said, and so did many who shre your grief, " this is not about right and wrong, its aabout grief and respecting each other.
While I agree with that to an extent, I have to say that its about grief for the grieving, for the rest of us, its about the fear of local government making a bad descion that could result in our loss of property rights.
I don't mean to judge them, but they make it difficult, when they use the local media(or the media uses them) to promote a cause that we just can't support. Ultimately, what I said remains true. Just because the family can't afford a burial plot, does not mean that the public should give them a free parcel of land. That is exactly what this story seems to be about to me, and many of us.
The real truth here is that far more of us have front yards than have children that were tragically taken from us. I am glad to hear the family has found a compromise. I hope it brings them the peace they seek.
