It is definitely being treated as a financial opportunity. Death was probably a good decision, financially. LA is all about the entertainment industry. Using the same reasoning that cities use to subsidize NFL teams with stadiums, I think the city will pay for the funeral expenses. Our sheriff provides a lot of funeral escorts, should he charge for that?[/quote]
Okay, and I know you are a popular guy there in Hanover and maybe in Madison even, ;-) , but when you die, you are gonna need maybe one escort. I don't think there will be any mobs or tickets given away by lottery, no CNN.
I may be wrong, though. The water board has a cult following...
