February 1st 2008 ---Friday and this weekend you can witness a violation of Church and State in Romney Country Utah. Violation in the form of a funeral.
It's another violation of church-state separation in Utahistan..
It is also is a strong contrast between two (great? )religious leaders funerals.
The focus is on this weekend's high cost Church and State Funeral.
1. Flags are flying at half mast for the deceased head of the Mormon Church, Gordon B. Hinckley.

How can flags be at half mast for a certain denomination's religious leader?
The Freedom for and the Freedom of religion arguments do not apply. How can a "church" leader claim connection to the United States of America? How can a religious leader in the USA have a State Funeral?
As far as I can tell we are not living in the colonial period. This is not an attack on the Church of Latter Day Saints. This is a question of Church and State.
2. It is also a contrast between a one high profile religious funeral and another high profile religious funeral.
The Mormon Church Leader is having a high funeral cost State Funeral, all starting on February 1st 2008.
Tickets are in fact being sold. The Church of Latter Day Saints has spared no expense here. We do not sell tickets to US Government State Funerals. Citizens get to wait in line. this is what happened at the Reagan Funeral.

The Focus last year on another religious leaders funeral was high profile and low cost.funeral. It was the Funeral of Ruth Bell Graham the wife of Billy Graham. This funeral was quite elegant looking like the casket Ronald Reagan went down in. It was a plywood casket from a Louisiana State prison. A humble ceremony.

This contrast above is very similar to that of Princess Di's State Funeral and Mother Teresa's humble Funeral.
Princess Di and Mother Teresa died on the same day. .
The only other Mormon who may out do Gordon B. Hinckley is Mitt Romney, If he wins the Presidential Election 2008 his
State funeral will cost over 100 Million Dollars.
May they all Rest in Peace.
Yes Mr.Romney, this does not include you, you are still with us.
