Sorry for the multiple posts, but uploading got quirky. And it made it essentially impossible to go back and fix my numerous typos. Sorry.

The Akathist in honor of the Icon the Inexhaustble Cup. I feel it would benefit everyone in this discussion to at least pray it once. Though this seems a strange request there is a drukeness to this discussion now.

In just a few years I will begin receiving Social Security. The system no matter what happens will remain solvent as long as I live. Some here think that we don't need to do much to correct the long term problems. While others here, including myself, believe that our children and grandchildren will suffer greatly if we don't at least drastically change the system or even eliminate it. I intend to work for its change because I believe being responsible for our own retirement with some governmental guidance is the surest way to help people prepare for retirement and I believe if we don't move to that system our children will suffer. Others believe the opposite for equally worthy reasons. I suspect they will work just as hard, if not harder, for their position.

Who's right? God knows.

On Forgiveness Sunday I wish to do something that is more important than arguing here over this system. I ask all your forgiveness for any and all known and unknown sins that I have committed against anyone this past year.
