the displacement of bodies "was not done in a very delicate way"

That's putting it delicately, all right.

Goes to show what I have been noting ruefully for a long time: the seeming limitlessness of human greed.

Brother Chuck, attacking Jesse Jackson on this is a new low for you.

First off, when I hear a visibly shaken Rev. (where's his church?) Jesse Jackson voiced the mounting anger at those who would toss the bones of the dead like trash. It's just not him alone that should have mounting anger, it should be all of us. Secondly here, the only reason Rev. (where's his church?) Jesse Jackson got into this picture was the free press and free media. When gravediggers and a cemetery manager unearthed hundreds of corpses from a historic black cemetery, on Holy Ground, or any other cemetery in the Country for that matter, every State law maker should have a lot more law's to protect the dead, in and out of a cemetery also, today there are few on the books. They don't care about a body, that's why, unless that body is one of their own. Like in this case, the ONLY reason they were charged with felonies, is they distroyed over a certain dollar amount. This took place in Cook County, ILL.
