So God didn't call Babylon to kill innocent people and carry them off
into captivity? Your problem is your definition of "evil" I think...


Now, as to the bailout and Joseph. It wasn't a bail out. It was what
our government _should_ have done, but didn't. In time of plenty, the
Egyptian government, under Joseph's direction, put aside the surplus
plenty for when the "recession" came. What our government(s) did, is
during the time of plenty, they spent and squandered our money (taxes,
and especially our Social Security)--spent money that wasn't theirs!
And now, when times are tough, they want to _increase_ the theft!
Where is the parallel here? Sorry, but your analogy just doesn't work
from the start. You are comparing apples to oranges. The worst part is
that these socialists don't understand basic economics, and they can't
see the difference either. But then again, what socialist ever did? If
they did, they wouldn't be a socialist.
