Given the state of ethics (especially business ethics) in 'Mercia, I wonder what they're teaching you...Or perhaps I should ask, what are they teaching that you're not listening to? :> 'Course, if you're already ethical, then there's little need for an ethics class, and if you're unethical, all you're learning is how to fool other people into believing that you're ethical--at least until the feds show up.

I was about to jump in and ask, "Why are you using the plural form for God?" when I looked further down and realized that you have a separate plural form. :) So now my question is, "Why do you have a different pronoun for God?" Just curious, that's all. Any conhistory to this?
