I know! I was using it as an extreme example. I'm not faith based enough to come up with any other religious themes for floats. The last time I saw a Nun was in the airport last year. I don't think there are many left. My impression of Nuns is that they that are busy scrubbing the tile floors of Monasteries or plopped in front of a chalkboard teaching young children. Or at airports flying to their next assignment.

Parades are for egotists and extraverts. Oh, bull. I parade in a MG krewe [can't tell you which; if I did, I'd have to kill you], and it is a great opportunity to see friends, drink, have a good time, drink, look for family and friends on the parade route, drink, enjoy the crowds, drink, have a tremendous pre-parade luncheon, drink, and generally pass a good time. A fine time. Parading in a very real sense fulfills a social responsibility. We're part of a show that brings a lot of cash into the city and indirectly provides employment and revenue to tons of people. We also keep a bit of culture alive which is not seen anywhere else in this increasingly homogenized nation. Your comments are a bit rough, do not take into account a lot of factors.
