    I remember what Jesus had to say about the prostitute. He didn't say anything about alcohol or gambling. Interesting that these issues are more important to you than doing what Jesus really taught - helping those who can't help themselves, including the poor.

    Funny, I don't remember that line about "one bad decision" at a time in the New Testament.

    Of course I know somehow this is Bush's and FEMA's fault also....but needs to be stated anyway

    That's a slander against the many New Orleans residents who did exactly that.

    the minute it hits, head for the Best Buy and blame it on the President and Fema - and whatever party is in office at the time...then it wll be at least someones fault other than your own.

    I don't think so...
