It shall be done

The Universal Memorial Homesite will always strive for the mutually productive balance of commercial and spiritual interests so that each factor shall augment the other in the most beneficial manner for all persons concerned. The crass commercialization of memorial events and related products and services is absurd, and engagement in such a process would fall dismally short of the higher aims of the UMH Project. Hence the constitution of the Homesite's public and private space and the values incorporated therein must be overseen by persons of eminent reputation and substance. To succeed, the perpetual UMH Project must stand upon a rock. That requires the involvement of substantial individuals and investments. We would not have it otherwise. We would not proceed without the involvement of the right people and without substantial investments. Of course any idea whatsoever can be implemented if enough money and manpower are thrown at it, but that does not guarantee a market sufficient over time to make the enterprise worthwhile. Despite all the sophisticated business plans with their professional market research, cash flow projections, and pro forma income statements, impotent ideas are bound to fail. The power of a successful conception depends on its origin. The attractiveness of the Universal Memorial Homesite concept is derived from the most potent force known to humankind. Every human being at one time or another wonders about and searches for the origin of their being and are interested in their fate. Almost everyone would appreciate a taste of immortality or would at least enjoy the thought of having their life remembered and their mortal end commemorated. Indeed, absent the memory of those who have gone before, without hope for the future, civilization would perish. The Universal Memorial Site conception is a "no-brainer." The concept cannot be stolen for it is already out there and it is bound to be realized by the right people. It the right thing to do, and it will be done sooner or later. Please step forward if you are interested.
