Thank you Danno, I forgot that I had seen that one before, but still, a hoot. I am not in the habit of attending church, but I think they provide a solid contribution to society. The church is no different than politics; it is run by people and it is up to the parishioners, or voters if it applies to politics, to pay attention to the process and speak up. Americans have become complacent, and with the advent of easy credit over the last many years, some Americans have over-extended themselves and now expect their debt to be assumed by the federal govt. and spread out amongst the rest of us. This is what is referred to as moral hazard. Religious organizations are prone to some of the same frailties.
