Let's work up a tear-jerker program that makes us, the adults feel all fuzzy and mopey, an foist it on the kids, expecting the non-experience to "change their lifes." Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Can't just sit down and have an honest discussion with out kids, nope, nope, nope. Nope.

It sounds like a horrible waste of money and *I* was one of those kids who wouldn't have given a fig about what the popular kids were doing.<BR/><BR/>Do you guys get the MADD (mother's against drunk driving) commercials down there?

Part of the video presentation from last night not only had the patient dying at the hospital, but also included the mortician transporting the "body" in a hearse, processing their personal effects at the morgue, and then, shudder, sliding the "body" onto a slab in the cooler. Shot of the mortician closing the cooler door. Ew.
