Greed has been articulated into the desire to earn
inordinate returns on investments, shady even dishonest
business practices and, in some cases, outright fraud in our
financial industry and in ordinary commerce, unwillingness
to engage in honest labor, exorbitant compensation of top
managers who suppress the average worker's pay, the
loss of the work ethic of giving an honest day's labor
for an honest day's pay. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.al.com/religion/huntsvilletimes/news.ssf?/base/living/1232705797193000.xml&coll=1"><P> All of these practices are signs of spiritual decay in our
society. In addition, our consumerism, defining ourselves by
what we buy and what we own, spiritually distorts our
economic lives, and has left many of us swimming in debt. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B9B8A41E-5B4B-427F-8CBF-04C8633D2074/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
