Why is it.................

Pete, I would show myself to be prejudicied to say I am surprised to see us agreeing on some things lately, but part of the fun of this board is to find out where we have common ground despite our party affiliation. Don't worry, though, I'm still not to the point that I would vote for you if you ran for office.

And I don't think that wealth necessarily prevents one from having a social conscience. To use another camel metaphor today, and also paraphrase the scriptures, it is harder for a rich man to go to heaven that it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. BTW, as I recall from the sermons, a needle was a sort of ancient corral gate that animals could pass through, but with some difficulty.

Regards,
