  15. You know, it's not just athletes who thank God/Jesus for their
  16. successes.  Actors and actresses do it, too, when presented with
  17. awards; same for musicians.
  18.  
  19. Given the relative lack of success enjoyed by my adoptive countrymen
  20. and -women (did that make sense?) in their attempts to succeed in
  21. these areas, i feel compelled to ask: what are we doing wrong?  Are we
  22. supposed to pay off God or something?  If so, what adress do we send
  23. the bribes too (and what's the postal code for heaven)?
  24.  
  25. Just wondering...
