Shut up already with this "clear lack of understanding of the economic situation of most Americans." How can I even take you serious when you use such hyperbolic language? You think I like paying the extra $250 per month (or whatever it is)? You don't think my family couldn't use that to good effect? You know nothing about me and my situation, so enough of the judgement.

I am the fool. I should save my money or go buy a new car or turn up my AC beyond 79 this summer, and wait for Cali's government to come save me when disaster strikes.

I'm also the bigot because I admire people that prepare for disaster and then come together as a community to work hard when it strikes.

You and Mike really need to starting thinking outside your paradigms.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
