"cult of death" is my preferred term for what most refer to as the "culture of death."
In the olden days, it used to be said that anything associated with Texas was "big;" and it became a charicature.
Certainly a death wish for 90% of the population qualifies as over-the-top big, as such things go.
Make sense now?
/demolished joke.
Hey, I "got" it!
You said -- "Certainly a death wish for 90% of the population qualifies as over-the-top big, as such things go.

Ahhh..., I see. Well, I guess my "Texas-size" comments were limited to "Jackalopes" or something like that. :-)
