America’s corporate, capitalist, rampant, virulent, all-pervasive, advertising propaganda promotes a false psycho-consumerism, and affluenza, materialism run a muck, that equates happiness with goods, acquisition of goods, conservation and hoarding of goods. Corporatists, capitalists then proceeded to produce planned obsolescence, annual model changes, and other ploys of monumental proportion to “goose’ the market-place and spent huge sums promoting this condition for Americans to the point we are at now! Never satisfied with what we do acquire, always looking for new improved models, bigger , better, longer, more powerful. This mythical world is about to fall flat, in the next down cycle natural to our capitalistic economy. Hidden in the trough to come is the greatest depression the world has eve known, the total collapse of the American Dollar, economy, stock markets, industries, manufacturing, and even oil-dependent Military forces, once warned already with the Oil Embargo! Asia, China in particular, no longer wish to support affluence in America and have said soE:http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090430/pl_afp/financeeconomyuschinabonds;_ylt=A0oGktkCIf5JwoIAMgODBqMX;_ylu=X3oDMTBwMjNqdWVsBHBndANhdHdfd2ViX3Jlc3VsdARzZWMDc3I
The great “comeuppance” America faces in this next dip of her economy will echo round the world, see a new instrument of international commerce, spell the death of modern Israel, as Chinese “Secret” plutonium and Chinese”Secret” delivery systems there to protect the oil they bought in the South Azadegan Oil Field from the Ayatollahs of Iran! reveal a “Mutual Destruction” formula brought into balance with “Secret” Israeli Nukes from America in Israel. The world map is convulsing as we speak, the American Dollar no longer strong enough to command 80% of the world’s resources, competing with the “Yuan” and the Asian Fact. Expect a re-definition of the “American Dream” lifestyle, perhaps its total revision and convulsive destructive and painful paradigm shifts in America, no longer comforted by its wasteful past, and seeking sustainability in a country environmentally devastated by over 200 years of callous corporate rapes of resources, trying to reach back to an agricultural history erased by rampant unregulated capitalism, even salting productive fields in California for accountancies equations for ROI, not good farming practices! We may point to China’s environmental destruction, all the while three fingers point back at us! Water supplies for big cities show Prozac contamination! Goddammit! where did we fail, but fail we did! Only San Antonio Texas, bio-gazes sewage for profit, and the rest contaminate lakes rivers, streams fields with unprocessed waste - the American way! Not the way to self-sufficiency, self reliance, sustainability, the way of unregulated capitalists answering the ROI equations of accountancy, ignoring all else, even common sense and in charge in America! Happiness can come with their downfall, coming soon! and a return to a realistic valued existence based of self, self achievements, sustainability conservative control, and reality based desires - America is very far from this, awaits the next 500 hp. 0 to 100 in 4.3 second, shiny new Corvette, even with GM(America) bankrupting, and dying away!The next huge violent cataclysmic all-encompassing upheaval on the horizons! We face the same follies the U.S.S.R. faced, and are doing so in the same asinine, but very human way! Shouting our own glories to ourselves as the great abyss closes over our heads! Happiness - Attainable after the end-times in the rubble we leave? SEE: http://uprooted.jessicareeder.com/2009/09/detroit-and-the-100-dollar-house/comment-page-1/#comment-3003
and weep! the truth , without the hype! America today! Not happy at all.

“Composed of the two most common elements in our planet’s crust (oxygen and silicone)”

This should be silicon, not silicone.

I found out about sky burial many years ago when I checked out a video from the library about Tibet. Footage actually showed monks throwing body parts (leg/arm) up into the air as birds hovered above to catch, hence sky burial. Guess they don’t do that much any more? Any way, it was REALLY COOL and since I’ve always wanted that sort of burial for myself.

I love birds and would be honored to feed the likes of those in that first picture. Beautiful. You probably find me very strange for that. I believe our bodies are wonderful, though temporary hosts for our souls. We the body dies, let it provide one last duty by contributing to the cycle and continuation of another life.

Thanks for your blog!

Embalming is not so much a Western practice as its more common and popular in the USA. In temperate/warm densly populated countries in Europe leaving bodies exposed on hillsides might cause some health risk. What is becoming more popular is cremation and sometimes spreading of ashes in the country side or at sea.

You said that it is incredibly offensive to photograph the ceremony. Are these your photographs? And if so how did you convince them to allow you to take them?
