I mean about the destruction of burial sites, the farming, mining, anything where they are intentionally destroyed, I don't think neglect falls under this. Neglected sites can be attended to, ones that are destroyed, can't, ever. It would require what many people on here have already done, a portfolio of sites and locations thereof. The examples of law enforcement failing to act. Jon's situation in Knox county has led me to be thinking about this for a long time. I also understand there are a great many factions and personalities present on this list, I am not interested in getting tangled up in any other issues, ego's, or what have you, I simply don't care about that. But I do owe myself, after having worked in graveyards for so many years, the obligation to do "more". Just as anyone else who has done anything for a cemetery or graveyard owes themselves the need to protect and honor what they have done. After all why did we do it in the first place ?? Because we wanted to do the "right" thing. I would just like to see where burial's have been violated, that the offender is swiftly and firmly punished. I realize that some can and will get off the hook, but we simply need to be visible, get the message out and get peoples disgust and indignation up. To do this, some of us have got to make a commitment. I don't have all the answers, I ask you to share your thoughts. Lee Creed Greencastle --WebTV-Mail-20575-1130--
