Roadside Memorials
When someone dies in an auto accident, the bereaved feel the need to put up some flowers, maybe some balloons, or something in the spot of the accident.
Herein lies my beef, are you going to forget where it happened? Is it some magical treasure map of morbidity and suffering? Why do I have to look at your garbage long after the flowers wilted and the balloons have deflated? I'd say I feel for you, but odds are I didn't know the person, and I got my own losses that you know nothing about. Plus, do we really have that bad of ADD that if we dont put some kitschy crap in the ground we forget that someone died? Oh Jeez, I am glad I put that stick in the ground or I would have invited Jimmy over for dinner.
What's next? Should we start marking where someones life begun if it happened in a car? If so, you'll excuse me, I have some sticks to put in the ground.
