Although I hope to stick to writing about things closer to home, I found an interesting article on CNN.com that says more women are robbing banks these days. Since 2002, the number of women bank robbers has jumped 25 percent! The article notes that many of the women claim they were forced to rob banks in order to feed or by diapers for their children. What kind of excuse is that? Aren’t there government programs that can help struggling mothers until they get back on their feet? I’m not a big supporter of welfare in general, but I think it’s perfectly fine for a single mother (or a family for that matter) to take advantage of the benefits long enough to get back on their feet. And isn’t it really the church’s role to help people in these times? What ever happened to that?

I could go on and on about this topic.

Speaking of women bank robbers, do you remember the “Barbie Bandits” from last year? I think they just wanted to buy some new clothes.
