Don't you think the Pope kind of ties in with *'s Social Security

[rzemanfl]

plan? After all, he worked until he died, just like * expects us to. However, if we are vegetables, then we can be kept around like potted plants at taxpayer expense.

1. I see him more like an "activist judge"

appointed for life who will never step down.

Tom DeLay will have the final say in how we are to view JP II. < /sarcasm>

2. Can the Pope be impeached? Judges can. Really don't know

the answer, I think there has to be a war or a schism or something to get rid of a Pope. Any Canon Law folks out there?

3. The Pope was an advocate for the poor and condemned

capitalism preying on those less fortunate. The Pope may have had a conservative stance on social issues but he was progressive when it came to compassion for the downtrodden.

4. Exactly. He was no endorser of capitalism.

5. You are taking me way too seriously. All Popes apparently work

until they die. *'s plan will apply the same retirement policy to all of us except the rich.

6. He worked without pay!

That sounds like a repuke's idea of capitalism.
