I just got an email from a friend asking me to vote in the CNN poll about whether Arafat should be allowed burial in Jerusalem. Here is my response Ruth Ann While I consider cemetaries as "holy ground" and would never do anything to desecrate anyone's grave, I personally do not believe in the... Sign in to see full entry.
