My own greatest flaws are anger, pride, sloth, lust, envy, jealousy, gluttony, and prevarication.

This more appropriately in Doby Blue's response queue but I believe I'm on her non poster list. Re greatest errors of mankind, lorrie says Jimmy B says there's a woman to blame ("always is"). That's pretty specific. This is not to say that men don't make nearly ALL the worst mistakes -- just that judgement suffers when blood supply goes south. Most blame, IMO, can be put at the foot of fear and greed -- more money, more women, more land, more...... -- or -- playing the game of life on your heels until you get too far behind and eventually resort to desperate measures. I have to go to the store now and buy food so I can cook my hard-working Baby something good for dinner. M

This, I think, was Mark Twains point in the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Huck actually gives up the opportunity that the Widder Jenkins had been setting up, to get him into Heaven, when he stole her property (Jim). Yet because he cared for his friend Jim, he felt somehow helping a friend was worth this sacrafice. B'sides he reconned Ole Tom Sawyer wouldn't be in heaven anyhow and t'wouldn't be no fun without ole Tom. He did feel kinda bad about stealin' from the widder though after she'd been so nice to him and all.......... Huck just couldn't get the morality of mass agreement right...Or something like that.
