What would Jesus pirate?
Wow, I've been incredibly lazy about posting since my return to Mexico. Here's a photo I snapped of the odd phenomena of street stands that specialize in illegally pirated religious music and videos.
At my school the librarian says the most difficult books to keep (the ones most likely to be stolen by the kids) are anything Spiritual. Biblical and inspriational quotes, "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" etc.
Good question. I don't really know. There is sometimes such a missing puzzle piece in what goes to make up the kids' belief system/view of how life should be that often stealing doesn't seem bad if that gets them what they want....unless someone steals from them and then "watch out". Same with lying.
