Woe on life and death on Dylan
 and yes death is a taboo in the US... I am so thankful in a way that I grew up in Mexico. Going over the grieving process was that much easier. But then again, dad was so sick that we are all pretty much accepting of it... but yes, our culture needs to learn how to accept death... and all that.

This is also another thing that changed in US history and culture, and that includes how we treat the body of the deceased and medicalizing the fact that people die. Dad dying peacefully at home, alas not surrounded by us, but still, would be strange to most here.

Dear DUmmie nadin.

  Your wish for more people dying at home will be granted soon, unless ObamaCare is repealed.  Every old person will be given pills and told to go home and die.

I think that fixed it.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Yeah it's not a taboo in Mexico. In that shithole, death is an everyday, common occurence. People die from infected teeth, minor cuts, flu, ruptured appendix, internal parasites, diarrhea, and a whole host of things that either don't exist or are minor conditions in the civilized world. It's probably easier to handle when it's so routine.
