That's sad, and I don't care about unions that much one way or the other, but it's sad that people are too poor to cremate their own, whether their own family or their own citizens.

And this is really the bottom line (and you are not the only one who has said this in this thread, but you said it so succinctly I thought I would quote you.) When people can look at this situation and be so lacking in empathy as to label it as a deserved consequence, then we are looking at a crisis of humanity, which is far more disturbing than the economic crisis that we all are now facing.
Also, you would think that the collapse would have demonstrated the "inextricable web of mutuality" in which we all are intwined. For those who think that Detroit's collapse affects only those in Detroit, has the last year shown you nothing?
It is an unfortunate situation all around.
