Composting Granny

Timothy Birdnow

The People's Republic of Illinois, that great gulag of the prairie, now wants to compost people as if they were stinking leftovers from the back of the fridge.

According to Yahoo News:

At Hennessy’s urging, state Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a Chicago Democrat, tried early last year to push through legislation that would codify natural organic reduction as an alternative to handling human remains.

That effort failed, but Cassidy reintroduced the bill and, after a debate that included references to the 1973 dystopian thriller "Soylent Green,” the Illinois House last month narrowly approved the measure, which is now before the Senate.

If Cassidy’s legislation gets enough votes in that chamber and is signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Illinois would become the seventh state in the country to legalize the process. Cassidy has also indicated that she wishes to have her remains go through human composting.

I have little doubt J.B. Pritzker will sign such a bill; he's nothing but compost himself, after all.

So now we are going to turn people into fertilzer.

Soylent Green is People!
