Came across this story today while at work, and it gave me quite a chuckle. The real message here is pretty sad that this stuff can still happen, regardless of a country's 'technological impoverishment' or whatnot. Anyway, it got me to thinking about what would happen if a political group attempted to lobby for zombie's political rights if they existed, given the pluthera of lobbying groups that exist in our current government, etc. Yeah, I know, it's weird, but I've got a huge exam and I'm running on coffee and no sleep. Good Monday, all.

India's 'dead' fighting back
April 23, 2007
AZAMGARH, India -- A political party in India is pushing for the reinstatement of the legal rights of people wrongly declared dead by relatives trying to steal their assets. ''We are using elections to highlight the problems of living dead,'' said Lal Bihari, founder of the Mritak Sangh, or Association of the Dead.
Bihari was declared dead in 1976 by his uncle who conspired with officials and took over his property.
