An interesting new market emerges lately across the internet. This market was ingeniously dubbed "vertical portals 6 feet deep" by WIRED magazine, and those portals' trade is death.

Finalthoughts.com, death-dying.com and others provide soon-to-be-gones with ways to deal with the inevitable. On those sites you can chat to similarly positioned people, arrange funeral services, choose a church and best: Leave emails for friends, family and foes; emails that will be sent on the day you leave this world for a better one.

I, personally, find courage in the way that this market is growing, and in the fact that I will be able to choose the way I go, when I do. Thing is I won't.

Not only is the Israeli internet-death market nowhere to be expected, even the real-world death economy is still ruled by a rich monopoly that cynically exploits the grief of you, me, and our fellow citizens.

Let me known when finalthoughts.co.il is up. I will be much happier on that day. I will be able to go in peace.
