@ReclaimTheRecs It’s about the bigger objective picture - for all Americans everywhere. It’s about having prompt access to publicly available information and public records. It’s not about specific localities. It’s universal. For journalism & free speech to thrive we need prompt access to info.
@legalgen I believe it a greater indecency and wrong to society to impede prompt public access to information and records and freedom of speech and journalism. Families have their paid memorials to remember and grieve by. No one interferes with that.
@legalgen Families used paid services to have memorials that look and read the way they want. That’s different than a free database for genealogical and research purposes, which is not a memorial service. A death is a matter of public record.
@ReclaimTheRecs Families PAY for published memorials in newspapers and funeral home related websites that look and read the way they want it to. They have every opportunity to grieve and remember. Find a grave is NOT a paid memorial service. It’s a database to assist in genealogy research.
@ReclaimTheRecs How is it harming anyone to record a place of burial for posterity? Cemeteries don’t do it in any central location. This is a valuable free service. Obituaries and death notices are public information. The greater sin is to NOT record it and let it be forgotten.
@ReclaimTheRecs Yes I read it. But legally speaking, if a person sees in their hometown paper that an old school friend died back home, what’s the harm in recording a fact? It’s a research database, not a memorial service. Millions of people never bother and people can’t find ancestors.
@legalgen I don’t understand why someone buried recently should not have their grave or burial listed in Find A Grave? Death notices and obituaries are public notices. It is public information.
@GovMikeDeWine@OSUWexMed Unfortunately it mutates. This vaccine only wipes out one of the most recent strains. It won’t stop COVID any more than it stops the flu. Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble. It’s just the beginning.
@NeuroRebel Yes, people try to explain and label and compartmentalize our quirks don’t they. To make sense of it. Well, I was:
-spacey
-absent minded
-needy
@GovMikeDeWine Why don’t we just make this a permanent option for kids who are medically at-risk, disabled, socially challenged and prone to bullying and abuse (e.g., Asperger’s and autism), for those with permanent severe conditions (e.g, social anxiety, OCD) where home preserves mental health
@ReclaimTheRecs Complaints that the system is biased isn’t made any better by the fact that persons of color or disabled have to show up at a courthouse IN PERSON to be scrutinized even before reaching a computer room because $300 to search from home is too high for underpriveleged persons
@ReclaimTheRecs Take note! In many jurisdictions I have to physically drive there IN PERSON from Timbuktu to access the 20+ year old PACER system to even look at court records. Can’t do it from home unless I can afford to give them a deposit of $250, $300, etc. to access records online.
@GovMikeDeWine Don’t blame the governor and expect a single man to fix a pandemic. Do you know how ludicrous that sounds? Everybody should do what is in our power to control. Mr DeWine is providing leadership here and trying to get us to do things that reduce risks. It’s a damage control.
@ReclaimTheRecs@nycrecords If this weren’t so serious it would be absolutely funny. Like when the minister or rabbi farts really loud in the middle of prayers.
