Yeah, I always trip out when I hear about rich celebs getting free goody bags at awards shows. I figure if anyone can afford those things, they can. Incredible. I haven't even mentioned the hidden costs that poor people have to pay in terms of health, education, etc. I wonder how the church will contribute to this discussion.
