[right way right]

Do you Catholics pay for this?

Its like paying scientists to count grains of sand on all the beaches of the world and categorize the type of sand.

There are none that are righteous, no not one. Only God is good.

Greed: comparing total per capita income with the number of people living in poverty per capita as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.

So because we have a "sanctuary city" here in Houston, and the people who actually work do pretty well, we're "greedy" ?

Subtract the illegals and poverty rates would drop dramatically.

You’re right that that stat is pretty messed up. No wonder figures don’t lie, liars figure. What we need is a 7 virtues survey studying charity etc.

Honey, get off of me and go make me a sandwich.

-- Gluttony: comparing the total number of fast-food restaurants per capita as reported by the "U.S. Census Bureau 2002 Economic Census: Food Services and Drinking Places Report."

I don't see the logic here.

A glutton may have a refined taste and avoid fast food. Or he may eat gobs of hamburger helper and peanut butter at home. People who use fast food often do so because they are in a hurry, not because they are gluttons.

Why didn't they use the obesity statistics that correlate most directly?

Junk science.
