We do the same. But they also decided a few years ago that those families that can afford new cars and trips to Disney no longer qualify for scholarships to the parish school.

And these people are citizens. There families have been here for generations, and they are obviously not poor in the true sense of the word.

Imagine asking your church for $ to send your kid to the school, and then buying new cars and taking fabulous family vacations. And I'm sure that they slept well, too. They figure they deserve a vacation. And they figured that no one would have a problem with them taking $ from the church for school and then giving their own surplus money to Mickey Mouse and Henry Ford for fun and games. Sheesh!!

Where's the responsibility? Why do some feel that, not only don't they have to help those who have less, they feel like they are entitled to any $ or goods that someone will give them, when they have more than "enough"?! Why don't they feel like they should be doing this for their own kids? Why isn't there an internal voice that tells them that taking money from the church when you can afford a trip to Disney is *dead wrong*?

the system is whacked. Many changes are needed and no one is stepping up to the plate. Us little people don't have a say in anything, so it's a waste of time. I say, if you can't beat em, join em. But then again, two wrongs don't make a right. Your damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Oh well, carry on.
