New and Improved Sins

The Vatican's new seven social sins are:

• ``Bioethical' violations such as birth control
• ``Morally dubious'' experiments such as stem cell research
• Drug abuse
• Polluting the environment
• Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
• Excessive wealth
• Creating poverty

You can argue the individual sins; me, I'm just happy when they don't name me specifically.

The Give-a-Hoot, Don't-Pollute one is a little silly, in that the Warmists are using it to justify doing the last three sins. Al Gore will be getting rich keeping energy out of the hands of those who need it most; and all the while, he'll be out-gassing like a Ford plant. What a racket.
