    "God only knows what is to happen. I see nothing impossible in that supposition. And I see things wonderfully contrived sometimes to make us happy. Where could they find such objects as in America for the exercise of their enchanting art? Especially the lady, who paints landscapes so inimirably. She wants only subjects worthy of immortality to render her pencil immortal. " --Thomas Jefferson, A Dialogue Between The Head and The Heart

    Why do Japanese people live so long? Because they can't afford to die. Cemetary plots in Tokyo can cost between $30,000 and $86,800 depending on the location and size of the plot. This costliness is a sharp contrast to funereal finances in the good ol' U.S. of A., where you can purchase a burial plot for $4.63 and a can of Pepsi in some rural communities. Sophisticated joints will take a fiver and a bottle of Merlot.
