I focus on the money because I went to a Catholic school for a few years.

You pretty much pay for religion there.

You pay for baptism, confirmation, quincenera (sweet 15) and weddings-you rent the church for the ceremony or mass.

Most churchgoers in Lost Angeles are Mexican and out of that percentage there are still the hard core members of the church that believe that you have to do it the 'church way' or you go to hell.

I have seen and know or people who spent literally thousands of dollars for a baptism, sweet 15 or wedding-The prices for those masses are going up.

------------------------

Catholic/private school, where they teach you a little couth, god and manners
are also charging more, again due to the fact that the lawyers got in there and stuck it to the church.

I happen to like my occasional mass-but when the Save Our School article in the Sunday scorecard says that the price of school lunches, breakfasts and tuition is going up because the area churches are bankrupt, that kinda p!sses me off.

Why? because my faith was hijacked (kinda like an homicide bomber, but by using kids, not bombs) and all the innocent people have to pay for a sin that didn't even involve them..

Nice.

I just hope that I can do a Christmas Eve/New Year's Mass without having to pay admission-I just may have to bring my own holy water too!
Or I can buy the 1.5 liter-taken from the Sea of Galilee brand!

Justice? Nope.

Payoff? You betcha!

Vindication? Hardly.

Let me say this again so no one misunderstands.

Someone molests you or you kid.

You can either put the emmeffer into jail or cash out with a million bucks.

I think I'd rather see the AH in jail with Bubba.

The million bucks wouldn't clear my conscience should it happen to someone after me....

I always thought that the innocent and proud people would walk out the back door of the court and go on with their lives.

I forgot that proud and innocent might very well include a book deal and screenplay?

------------------------

LOL, Since we are discussing big money from lawsuits..here's another big bucks move. The Duke lacrosse players.

Little AHs bought some lap dances and trouble. I guess I'd be harsh saying that they deserved their problems..But look at the financial windfall!

Strippers or studying?

Hmmmmmmm......
