I’m still waiting for someone, anyone, to point me to the place in the Bible where capitalism is mentioned as the Godly economy.

BP official grilled by frustrated mayors at news conference Kennon later told CNN that he met with Fryar for about 45 minutes after the news conference, but said he still had “no confidence” in BP’s economic response to communities hard-hit financially by the disaster. “(Fryar) made it very clear to us … that (BP’s) first [...]

Documents Show Early Worries About Safety of Rig The documents show that in March, after several weeks of problems on the rig, BP was struggling with a loss of “well control.” And as far back as 11 months ago, it was concerned about the well casing and the blowout preventer.

While I’d love to wax philosophical and theological on this topic for the next hour, there is that small matter of educating the future leaders of America… So, I’ll just link to my favorite blogger and let him tell it like it is. Man is fallen. We need rules. Rod Dreher, Crunchy Con
