I'll Have Ketchup On My Remains, Please

Of all the contiguous 48 states I knew it would be Oregon or Washington who came up with this idea.

Washington is just a governor’s signature away from becoming the first state in the U.S. to legalize the “natural organic reduction” of human remains, colloquially known as “composting.”

On Friday, the state Senate and House of Representatives finalized their approval of bill 5001 (titled “concerning human remains”), which enshrines “organic reduction” and alkaline hydrolysis, a dissolving process sometimes called “liquid cremation,” as acceptable alternatives to traditional burial and cremation.

But there's a better way to handle the issue. Didn't I write yesterday about the feces poundage in California lying in the streets. Seattle is the same way. C'mon guys, do I have to do all your work?
