No one is perfect. A babe before walking will first stumble and fall many times but NEVER gives up until he succeeds. Always remember, ultimately, to never follow any person's belief. Your relationship with God is between you and God. If nothing else, remember this: religion = subservience, control and conformity, the same template as EVERY government "Most believers would kill truth if truth threatened their religion." L. K. Washburn "This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves." Robert Ingersoll "If anyone wants to know how God feels, it's a warm light as if the sun is poking through dark clouds and lifting your spirits with pure joy." |

You are right about unemployment, but it might be a perspective thing. If you live in Texas, like I do, you don't know what unemployment means. I most of the major cities in Texas businesses are suffering, not from the economy, but from not have enough "labor" to support their business. Massive debt, should be rather hard to deny, I don't get that one either. Probably to much booze, sports and porn. I think the foreclosures is also a perception thing. There is tons of places that are not being as negatively affected by it. So basically, you may not notice, unless you live in those areas.
