Buried Truth - News - The Pitchpage 1 - The Pitch: "Allowing ANY commercial development on the land where cemteries are located is absolutely insane!! Obviously, some politician must have a lot to gain in order to pull this one off! It would be one thing to ask for the land to build a hospital or senior living facility, but a racetrack?!?! Come on!! People complain about gas prices now, and your citizen's are going to go for a racetrack?? Why don't we just build a bank or a 7-Eleven in the middle of Arlington National Cemetery! Unless you have knowledge of who is buried in these graves, you can't know for sure that there are not veterans of some sort interred there! If it were your family, you'd be pitching a fit too!! This is one area that majority rule is complete and utter B.S.!! Cemeteries are sacred grounds. It is against Federal law to disturb Native American burial grounds, so what makes this any different?? I guess it is the whole 'there are more of us, so no one will notice some small cemetery being disturbed' mentality. I guess that really doesn't say a lot for the City of Kansas City - they apparently own the land that these cemeteries are on and allowed them to become 'ignored'. Glad I live in Texas where cemeteries are given the respect they deserve!!
